Hi class, I thought you might find it useful to see an example of how to complete your homework. Check it out:
The following article "Learning to Thrive with Attention Deficit Disorder" by Allison Aubrey is about a college girl, Emily, who is learning how to overcome obstacles in her life. Learning isn't something that comes naturally with ADD, especially when you are on your own in college. When medication and other alternatives failed, Emily found success through attention deficit coaching. Emily finished her first year of college at Pacific Lutheran University with a 3.4 grade point average and is confidently starting her sophomore year, anticipating the same success.
This article is a wonderful example of self-respect. To respect something is to hold it in high regard. When you respect yourself, you hold a view that you are capable of great accomplishments and personal success, even in the midst of difficulties. Emily believed in herself and knew that she was capable of earning good grades, but she knew that she would need some help to make it happen. She showed respect to herself by seeking the help that she needed. The psychologists coached her through a process of becoming organized. She learned how to break large projects into smaller steps on her own and she applied this knowledge to all her classes. When she received her report card, it was a clear that she worked hard at overcoming organizational challenges to be the best student she could be, demonstrating a consistent respect for herself.

Erica,
Your news article doesn't have to be from NBC or CNN only, those are just examples of online news sources. The way to determine if the news sources is credible is by reading the "about us" section of the webpage and find out a little background on the source. It looks like this is a newspaper that has been in print for some time, check it out. And yes, the example of respect works too.
http://sms-kayleeh.blogspot.com/ Here is my blog I have written my current event page. I am not sure if this works but It is about nurses taking care of pacients.
John,
When I copied and pasted the URL into a new browser, it took me to the website for the "Dept. of Defense News on the War Against Terrorism" but it tells me that the file is not found. If you can define qualities of respect found in the article, you can use it, but make sure to test the hyperlink in your post. If it doesn't post correctly, I will work with you at lunch time to try and fix the problem.
Amanda,
I haven't read your article yet, but if it is about an organization that helps people, I would imagine that they have a respect for human life through their actions of helping people. I'd use it. :)
Okay thank you so much! I just needed to know if it worked.. haha
I love your blog. I also thought the example was very helpful so thank you for posting that.
