To complete your journals, you should peruse reputable news sources (online or print) and find one recent news story that focuses on a topic related to the weeks readings. The article you choose should discuss some aspect of the U.S. government and American politics, and should be no older than 3 months.
- Briefly summarize the news story: in your own words, what is the story about?
- Analyze the news story: how does this story help us to better understand our course topics for the week? In this part of your entry which should be the most substantive part of your journal you should draw clear and specific connections between the news story and a topic or theme from the week’s readings. You should also use evidence from the readings to demonstrate these connections
- Give us your opinion: what do you think? Where do you stand on the issue described in the news story?
