Write a one to one and a half page review of a journal article that illustrates concepts and subjects we have discussed in class. 
School of Education students should choose an article from the Journal of Geography. This journal deals with methods and ideas for bringing geographic concepts into the K-12 classroom. Choose an article pertaining to the level you plan to teach (6-8, etc.).
Non teachers should us an article from Audubon or MacLean’s. Choose an article that relates to your major or a personal interest. Subjects might include human interaction with nature, population geography, or the global economy.
All journals can be found in the UMKC Library and most are on the web. Do not use articles from National Geographic, or newspapers.  Papers should be typed and double spaced.  
Give the Name and Date of the Journal and the title and author(s) of the article. Answer the following questions:
1.    What are the problems or issues being discussed?
2.    What are the major points of the article?
3.    What are the author(s) conclusions and recommendations?
4.    What is the correlation to class and the textbook? Does the author support, disagree, illustrate, or bring new insights into our classroom discussions?
5.    What is your reaction to the article? Was it informative, clear, ambiguous, useful, and poor?
