You will write a 15-slide research PowerPoint on a current political topic related to American government in some manner.. This is not a current event or opinion paper. It is a research assignment with strict MLA or APA requirements. Minimum 10 citations. Please see the writing lab if you do not have experience writing a research PP paper.
The topic and the following information must be clearly described in the presentation: These can serve as your headers but please use your creativity and name the title of each slide in accordance with the topic you are researching..
1. How the issue is government related.
2. Explain the reason for and how the government regulates and controls the laws regarding the issue.
3. Identify the state, local or national governmental authorities (state, federal, or NGO) that regulate the issue.
4. How the laws or policy are passed. (state, federal, global NGO body)
5. The impact on society - morally, ethically, physically, financially, socially, legally, and personally.
Every student has issues they are passionate about so for me to limit the area of relevant government current issues or policies for research would be restrictive in my mind. Choose the issue you are most concerned with for Texas, our nation, global politics, or your local community.
Please do not recycle an old paper from a previous class. That is an automatic F.
This is not an opinion paper. This is a research paper. You do not use the word "I" in a research paper.
Reference page - minimum 10 references- please reference proper citation requirements - APA or MLA.
Minimum - 2 websites - 2 peer review journals - 2 newspapers - 2 government sources, 2 other academic sources.
DO NOT cite 10 websites only. This is an automatic F. By this, I mean do not simply go to an organization's website to obtain information.
