Assignment:
Purpose: This FOUR PAGES MINIMUM asks you to choose a political issue that you care about, research it, take political action, and reflect on your action
Directions: Start by thinking about what political issues you care about and why you care about them. Choose an issue and do some research into what, if anything, is being done locally, nationally, or internationally in regards to this issue. Once you've decided on an issue, carefully decide on one or more actions that you would be willing to take that would help resolve this issue. Again, don't simply answer the questions in order in paragraph-form. Instead, work through the parts below and then develop your own argument.
Paper structure:
• Organize your paper like any formal essay: with a clear introduction, thesis, main body, and conclusion. Feel free to use headings and subheadings as necessary.
• Minimum of four pages, double spaced in Times New Roman 12 pt with 1 in. margins
• Include in-text citations as appropriate and a References page using APA style format. At a minimum, you should cite the readings from class. All other sources should be academic sources (not newspapers or internet sources).
Lastly, in all apa style papers you need a title page. Make sure you create one.
