    In general this was a really strong round of essays so great work. I do have a couple things for you to keep in mind for next time though.
    Next I want to move into our second unit. For this portion you’re going to select an issue from the list below. We’ll then be focusing a lot on how to find credible sources. The unit will culminate in your final essay which will be due July 28th. For Sunday July 9th I want you to pick an issue you think you’d like to explore in a full essay. Consider the list below and then write a response that says which issue you plan to pick and why you think it’s interesting.
    Police brutality/profiling – How could their training be different?
    Representation in pop culture – How could we as consumers help to make the media landscape more diverse? Why is it problematic when we dont see diversity in popular culture?
    Tuition and student loans – How could college become more affordable? What would the government (state federal or both) need to do? Is free college tuition a good idea?
    The electoral college – What are the problems of this system? Why do we have it? How could we change it?
    Moving away from oil – What is a plausible and cost-effective way we could move beyond a system that revolves around this fuel?
    In addition to that response I want you to read the following article about source credibility very closely. Fake news and source credibility has morphed into a huge issue that we face today making it particularly important to know how to find reliable information and conduct research online. Right off the bat I want to make sure that you don’t use Wikipedia as a source in your essays. Wikipedia is a good tool to learn about something but it should be treated as a starting point in your research and not a source in itself. One way to use it is to look at the information and then use the references section at the bottom to find actual sources.
