Blog Topic #2

As mentioned in class, we in the United States often do not hear or read much news coverage from Australia or Oceania.  This doesn't mean important events, some influencing the U.S., are not taking place.  It just means that to learn we need to dig deeper by looking at news sources from the region.  Fortunately, the Internet makes this quite easy.   

In this two part post I want you to paste two links to online news articles from one of the following news sources:
     - The Sydney Morning Herald
     - news.com.au

The two topics I want you to research are "Australia Day" and "Immigration."

After the link I want you to summarize the article and relate what you read directly to your textbook.  The point is to connect what you read in the textbook to interpreting and understanding events in the region.  You should write a long paragraph for each, concluding with the page number(s) from the textbook that relate to the article.

Please remember to celebrate Australia Day this Wednesday, January 26th, when Aussies celebrate the arrival of the First Fleet!
