Hey everyone. Here's your PartiGov homework this week:
Tuesday, 9/9: Assignment #1--> Return signed "Letter to Parents"
Thursday, 9/11: Assignment #2--> Article Summary Assignment #1
I haven't been able to upload the Cover Sheet template yet, but here are the directions in case you need them:
DIRECTIONS:
1) Type a full page summarizing and discussing the important points of the article. Use the questions above to start you out. This is to be written in paragraph form, not points or bullets. It should have an introduction, middle, and conclusion. Points will be taken off for editing mistakes. Typed assignments are to be in 12 point Times New Roman font.
2) At least one well-written paragraph at the END of your summary should be your opinion on the article you have just summarized. This should be your INFORMED stance on the issue discussed, NOT a critique on how the article was written. Make sure you pick an article that deals with government (local, state, or federal) and that interests you.
3) Staple your article and summary to the back of this sheet.
4) The article summary is due the first day of class every week (usually Monday or Tuesday).
5) You lose 10 points PER DAY that the assignment is late. After 1 week late it is a ZERO. Hand it in on time!
6) REMEMBER YOUR ARTICLE AND ITS IMPORTANCE!!! You will be asked to discuss your article during class.
