Writing Assignment 3

This assignment is step one in exercise 1a from p. 143 of our textbook (we'll make arrangements to do the next steps when we meet on Tuesday): "Draft a 300-word summary of a news article related to a professional or technical development." Allowing for a great deal of latititude, as necessary, you should try to find an article relating to a "professional or technical development" in your chosen career field (or your academic major, at least).  Getting a news article from the web will be fine, just be sure the original is of enough length to warrant summarizing in 300 words.

Include an MLA-style works cited entry for your source following the guidelines outlined in QD5 of my quotes and documentation page.
