Understanding the important events taking
place in our nation is a critical part of understanding our national and
local government, therefore you will be required to keep pace with current
events as a part of this course. This means that roughly every two weeks
you will:
- keep an eye on the major news outlets and track three important
national stories, you will need to print out one article for each of the
stories you follow, highlight/underline the critical information in each
of the articles you have printed
- write a 1-2 paragraph summary for each of the news stories in
which you:
- identify the important actors and issues at stake
- give a brief chronology of events connected to the story, and
- offer your opinion on the best possible resolution to the issue
- Please make sure you are choosing stories that have real national
news significance, NOT the Michael Jackson Case, or some random guy
driving like a maniac, or whatever
