Students will be able to locate appropriate articles to summarize and analyze, following the assignment criteria.

Criteria for Articles

• Published during the present academic quarter
• Gives solid coverage (not just a short paragraph or two)
• Covers a wildlife topic that is controversial.  (Simple descriptions of a wildlife refuge or rehabilitation of wildlife will not offer the controversy or differing viewpoints for you to consider and analyze.)
• Covers a species that occurs in the Pacific Northwest.  This includes the area from southern British Columbia to Northern California.

Suggested Resources

(instructor's note: I usually find their articles to be too short for this assignment but they sometimes have links to longer articles at the end.)
