Article summary
Before
the first translation assignment, students must complete a summary of
a three-page article that is related to their field of study. The goal
of this assignment is to enable students to familiarize themselves with
the act of reading for content in a second language before they begin
the more demanding task of translating. Details will be given on the format
for the summary on the first day of class. Please submit your article
for approval by the end of the first week of classes.

Careful!
The link above will lead you to good articles for beginners and intermediate
readers. However, they are very short. Most of them are more suitable
for translations than for reading for content.
Here
are some other resources that might help.
You can
do a search in a newspaper's site using a keyword or by name (i.e., classical
guitar-> Paco de Lucía).
