Length – No more than 2 pages. My recommendation would be at least 1 page. However, you kno your writing style best. If you are a very succinct writer you may be able to get your point across in just a couple of paragraphs, however, I wouldn’t recommend this for everyone.
Subject – Pick a current event (or an event within the last 1-2 years) that ties to a concept we’ve learned in class. Explain the concept we’ve discussed in class and explain how it relates to the current event. How is it similar or different than other events, what does it say about the current interaction of states regarding global issues, possible solutions to remedy the situation?
Citation – You’ll need to cite at least one reputable news source (NPR, CNN, BBC, etc.). We’ll use MLA citation style in this course.
Writing – You must approach this as an analysis. Opinion, editorializing, and 1st or 2nd person plural or singular is not acceptable. You must watch grammar, spelling, and punctuation. If I cannot read it then I cannot grade it. You must use this paper to connect the readings to a current event in the real world.
