Each article should have at least 2 pages on it think of it as 5 assignments. So Do one article on the United Kingdom with 2 paragraphs of summary and 3 of analysis.
Then do the next country and so on. ******The Writing Should not bleed from article to article so each article talks strictly about that article*****
*While reading the Economist and the Christian Science Monitor, be careful to avoid opinion columns.

*Do not use first person, refrain from “hypothetical” questions or situations.
