Assignment: TOPIC: ABORTION
For this final project, worth a total of 100 points towards your final course grade, you are required to either 1) attend an in-person or virtual activity or 2) watch a film or documentary related to American politics; then write a report. Either choice (activity or film) is acceptable, so long as it is related to U.S. politics, a topic that has been discussed in some way during the course, and your instructor approves it.
Here are some examples of projects that would be approved:
A. Attend a speech/panel/presentation related to a topic in our class. For example, Broward College hosts gubernatorial debates each year a new Florida Governor is elected.
B. Watch a documentary, televised political debate, or movie related to a topic in our class. Some examples include "The Abortion Divide" (free on PBS) or "Reversing Roe" on Netflix. Netflix (subscription service required, although there is a 30-day free trial) has a lot of excellent documentaries on many different topics that we cover in this course.
C. Partake in a local election event of a party or political candidate running for Congress/Governor/President.
D. Partake in an event related to an interest group, such as Black Lives Matter, Environmental Protection advocates, Pro-Life/Pro-Choice advocates, etc.
Based on your selection, write a 750 to 1,000 words report that includes the following three sections:
1. A summary of the activity or documentary,
2. Examples of how it related to this class (including page citations and 2 to 3 quotations from the text), and
3. A concluding paragraph about what you learned.
