Obama China

Yosh! It's aggregator time. What's a aggregator you ask? Well, an aggregator is a website (usually) that collects a bunch of information and opinion from all over the web and wraps it up in a nice little bow for your convenience.



Today, you will all be little aggregators.

Here's the assignment:

In case you haven't heard, Obama's in China. As you can imagine, this official state visit isn't without some controversy. In groups of three, find five websites/articles that deal with the subject of Obama's visit to China. Elect one person in each group to write down the URLs and to summarize the main points of each article/column each.

Here are some links to get you started.....

Good luck.
