For those of you that would like to take a look at the course description for AP Government & Politics, here's the link.
For the "Week in the News" Presentation on Monday, I will allot the first 10-15 minutes in class for 2 students to discuss a minimum of 6 news stories under the following categories:
I. Constitutional Underpinnings
II. Political Beliefs and Behaviors
III. Political Parties and Interest Groups
IV. Institutions of Government (Executive, Legislative, Judicial, Bureaucracy)
V. Civil Rights and Civil Liberties
VI. Public Policy (Economic, Foreign, Environmental)
For each article, share with the class the title of the article and the source (ie. "Republicans blast Obama," FoxNews.com) and how it fits into the course curriculum. You may choose to use PowerPoint, but that is not required. You may choose to use a news format or something more creative, but please do not have the format distract from the information.
And just for the heck of it, feel free to add a news story of the bizarre.
Please turn into me a 1-2 page summary that includes the title of the article and source as well as a brief paragraph summarizing the contents of the article.
