Read the news articles and complete additional research if there is unfamiliar information in the articles you selected (i.e. the news article references a person and you would like to know what his/her job is).

Reflect on your findings and consider which article, based on your analysis, is the more reliable article.
Include your conclusion and the reasons for your conclusion in your analysis.
