Your paper should be about 4-5 pages double spaced.  You will find a current event in the U.S. politics and write a paper that connects that event to the concepts you have learned in this course.  Please do NOT turn this in as a .pages file.  I cannot read those files and thus cannot grade them.

Suggested paper outline:

Page 1: Introduction. Describe the current event you have chosen. Use citations.

Page 2-3: Explain a concept from your course and how it connects to the current event.

Page 3-4: Explain a second concept from your course and how it connects to the current event.

Page 5: Conclude and provide thoughtful analysis.
