Order description:
Throughout the semester you will be expected to participate in course blogs. You will post your responses to prompts and reply to other students’ posts. This forum is meant to provide you a venue for reflecting on course concepts, sharing your own examples of the concepts, and engaging in discussion with your fellow students.
Your analytical posts should be at least 2 paragraphs long and substantially targeted to address the central topic/theme of the blog. In your posts, you should use examples and citations to support your arguments. I strongly encourage you to make the posts lively and engaging. We want this to be fun for everyone to read. However, be mindful that your posts should be clearly written and detailed.
In addition to your own posts on the subject, it is expected that you will be writing responses to the posts from your classmates. You should regularly read and respond to this blog.
Grades for the blog will be assigned using the rubric attached to the blog. I strongly encourage you to review this rubric before starting the assignment.
As we roll into the end of the blog project, I thought it might be a good idea to open up the thread for you to post the topic of your choice. Okay, it’s not quite that open!
Tackle the following topic:
“In my opinion, the most important public policy story developing in American politics today is…”
As you consider this question, consider the impact of this public policy on the future of the country and/or the world. Remember that we want to look at something meaningful and not just something interesting. In other words, millions of Americans might be discussing the newest movie release, but I don’t think you can make the argument that this story is really meaningful for most Americans.
Do you think your topic has gotten adequate attention from the media? Why or why not?
As you create your entry, be sure that you are connecting your analysis to the topics and themes that we’ve previously examined. Who is most affected by this topic? Who is involved in trying to shape the matter? Where do you stand on the topic?
Have fun with it!
