wireman Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) This is taken directly from the Internal Assessment guide. How to choose an extract The nature of articlesThe choice of an appropriate article is the most crucial aspect of writing a successful commentary. The article used does not have to be purely economic, as the application of economic theories and concepts can be observed in many areas. Articles without any obvious economics are sometimes the most effective, allowing students to introduce economic analysis where it is not immediately apparent.Articles that include substantial economic analysis, such as in The Economist, while allowable as a source, may leave little opportunity for further analysis. Suitable articlesArticles must be chosen from the news media: newspapers, magazines or the internet. Students need to look for articles relating to current events, and these must be published no earlier than one year before the writing of the commentary.The World Wide Web is a good source of articles. However, news media websites are the only appropriate sources. The use of blogs is not allowed for internal assessment unless these are associated with recognized news organizations. Students must take care to record correctly the actual date the article was published, not just when it was posted on the internet.Graphic sources (for example, pictures, cartoons and advertisements) are not to be used as source articles: these do not qualify as articles for the purpose of this internal assessment.Students must take care not to choose articles where there is little room for their own analysis and evaluation.Hope this helps.
