News notes have to include program nameoutlet. Nearly any news source is acceptable with the exception of celebrity gossip magazines (People In touch The National Inquirer etc)
I. Summary
Under this heading write 2-3 paragraphs summarizing the news programs you watched for this assignment. The paragraphs should be a detailed synopsis of a period of political news. In your summary include the name of the news programs you watched and the dates that you viewed them.
II. Integration
Under this heading write roughly 4-6 paragraphs connecting the terms in the textbook and lecture outlines to the political news included in your summary. As a sample:
The confidential Justice Department document about the presidents use of drones which was recently leaked to the press relates to numerous concepts outlined in the textbook. First there are questions of executive authority. Article I of the Constitution states that the power to declare war belongs to Congress (A-4). While the Justice Department document does not authorize the president to declare war it gives him unchecked power to take lethal measures. One of the reasons for the Bill of Rights is to limit the power of government. In fact preventing government from amassing too much power was on the forefront of the framers minds as they drafted the new constitution (47-50). Still presidents have historically circumvented checks on the executive branch with devices such as executive orders and signing statements (53).
All information should come from either the textbook or the class lecture outlines. Do not utilize outside books or online sources to complete this assignment. Therefore in terms of citation including the page number(s) where you found the information in the text is sufficient. If you reference a lecture outline cite the title of the lecture outline that you used.
III. Commentary
Under this heading write 1-2 paragraphs expressing your personal views about the political topics you included in the summary.
You are required to write two papers. Follow this format twice with each paper depicting different news topics and chapters from the text. Each paper is to be typed single-spaced and stapled together with notes from the news attached.
