The World is Flat TAKE HOME Assignment and Global Warming Assignment (Liberal and Conservative Bias in the Media)

List 20 websites you go on. List the URL and what is there. You need both to get the points (all or nothing).

The World is Flat Assignment
1. List all 10 of the flatteners. They’re either in your notes or on the Angel site in my PowerPoint.
2. In a full 1.5 page journal (bare minimum), tell me WITH FACTS from class, the video, or the PowerPoint what the World is Flat means to you and why “you Americans are not ready” and what you must do to get ready for the flat world. Numbers 3+4 aren't a part of this section.
3. Incorporate 1 of your quotes into a cohesive paragraph that makes sense and answers the why of what your quotation means. Tell me the greater why.
4. Incorporate 2 of your stats / facts into cohesive paragraphs that make sense of what these statistics means. Tell me the greater why.
5. Use your amazing Internet powers to go on http://www.amazon.com/ and get the information for the World is Flat 3.0 by Thomas Friedman to create an MLA Works Cited Page citation for this book.
6. Go on http://www.youtube.com/ and get the MIT shareware for the World is Flat lecture that we read and create an MLA Works Cited Page citation for this website.
7. Find any technology / computer / business magazine (a real one not an electronic one) and get the information for an MLA Works Cited Page citation for this magazine. Either xerox the pages or bring the magazine on Monday
8. Using my statistics from the online survey we took in class (THESE WILL BE ON ANGEL ONLINE BY THIS AFTERNOON AT THE LATEST AND YOU WILL ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL SURVEY UPLOADED THAT YOU CAN REFERENCE), tell me what 8 of those numbers mean regarding the “flat world.” THESE DON'T HAVE TO BE FULL PARAGRAPHS - JUST EXPLAINED OUT. If 10 people use AOL e-mail, this means nothing in and of itself. Is this the most popular service? Is it the least popular service? Why do you think this is?

ALL OF YOUR NOTES MUST BE TURNED IN WITH THIS FOR FULL CREDIT.
REALLY.
