my problem
1) Give the date and title of each editorial.
a) November 18,2013 - Colorado: A 51st State?
b) February 18,2013 - Puerto Rico: The 51st State?
2) What did you already know about this topic? a) No one likes the democratic leaders in Colorado. b) I knew Puerto Rico wasn't eligible to vote.
3) What is the main idea of each editorial? a) Due to the democratic leaders and their laws, they want to split Colorado and make it a "New or North" Colorado. Keeping half of the state make the better so they can control the farms and land. b) Puerto Rico has always been part of the US, but laws don't apply there, so they are making it the 51st state. In that way it also gives them the right to vote.
4) What were the differences in the editorials? What do you think accounts for the differences? The difference in the editorial is the states and why they want to make it the 51st state. They want to split Colorado, to get control over land, farms, and get rid of democratic leaders. In article 2 they want to give equal right to Puerto Ricans & giving them the right to vote.
5) How could you determine if the authors are reliable sources of information? The New York Times Upfront is a enormous source were people get there information from. If it wasn't a reliable source, it wouldn't be published, so many people trust this source.
