    This week, please create and present a PowerPoint presentation summarizing your case law project (the topic you selected in Week 2). This assignment includes two components: a digital submission of your PowerPoint file and an in-class exhibition where you will briefly present your work to your classmates.

    Your presentation should summarize the key elements of your case in a clear and engaging way. The presentation, if given in front of the class, should take no more than five to seven minutes. Keep your slides visually organized and conciseuse brief bullet points, clear headings, and visuals where appropriate to support your explanations.

    Your PowerPoint must include the following slides:

    • Title Slide: Include the case name and year, your name, the course title, and the date.
    • Constitutional Issue: Provide a brief explanation of the constitutional question or issue at the heart of the case.

    You will present your slides during an in-class exhibition, where you will share your findings and engage in a brief discussion about your case. The goal is to demonstrate your understanding of the legal and constitutional issues while effectively communicating the cases significance.

    During the in-class exhibition, please present your case law project to your peers in a brief 57 minute presentation. You may use a PowerPoint presentation, trifold board, brochure, or another visual aid to display the key points of their case. Presentations should be clear, organized, and engaging, allowing you to explain the major constitutional issue, court progression, and impact of the case while answering questions or discussing insights with your classmates.

    As we engage in both online and in-class discussions, please maintain professionalism at all times:

    • Speak from knowledge. Base your comments on facts, legal reasoning, and historical context.
    • Acknowledge humanity. Remember that these cases involve real people affected by the decisions.

  • Struggles for Equality

    Explain Steinbergs thesis about the ignominious origins of ethnic pluralism in the United States, and then link his thesis to the videos and other assigned readings in this Block. Finally, tell in specific terms how his thesis helps us understand American politics today, giving at least two contemporary examples of your own.

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    • Write an essay of 4-5 pages using 12-point font and double spaced with pages numbered, in which you show you understand the various struggles for equality in the United States as outlined in this Block. Be sure to have a thesis that makes an argument. Be sure to make reference to the readings in the Block, and to the readings in the course so far as appropriate.
    • For contemporary examples, you may use news reports, which you should cite appropriately. Otherwise, use only your textbook and information on the course website for sources. To make sure you are honing your critical reading, thinking and writing skills, no use of AI is appropriate for this assignment. All ideas and work should be your own. Be sure to cite your sources as you use them, and provide a works-cited page.
    • Please review the general comments on the Block 1 essays as well as the specific comments on your Block 1 essay. Be sure to proofread, including for clarity.
    • Hint: As with an exam or any other assessment, this assignment asks you to show you have completed the readings and watched the videos assigned.
    • As usual, the more specific you are in your discussion, the more you make reference to the assignments from the Block, and the more you demonstrate critical thinking, the higher your grade will be.
    • You do not need to tell the whole history of Steinberg’s chapter. Just explain his thesis and why he makes the argument he does. Then connect the videos to his thesis, then give two contemporary examples.

  • Case Memo part 7 – Who Assists

    You will discuss how people outside the group play a role in the violence, if any. This might be a direct role or an indirect role. You should describe who or which groups assist who they are, their identity groups and where they are in relation to the violence and what they think of the group perpetrating the violence and its aims. This should be 0.5 to 1 page single spaced.

    • List the groups or kinds of people who play a direct role in supporting or assisting the violent actors in perpetrating the violence, and what roles they played. This might include hiding fighters in homes, providing food, weapons, or other material assistance, or other things.
    • List the groups or kinds of people who indirectly assisted by simply being supporters. These might be kinds of people who agree with the aims of the group and are relevant to the violent incident. Describe their level of support and what goals they share with the violent actor.
    • Use concepts from the reading to analyze how this level of support from these groups contributed to the success (or failure) of the group’s goals.

    Cite your sources. You may use the same sources, but may need to get more. Include the name of the policymaker it is directed to and the date of the memo at the top. I will include the other parts for the case memo, which have more information about my case. You can use them and add more sources if you would like

  • Senior Seminar Early Stage Revision

    Paragraph 1

    Remove the phrases in this paragraph related to economic stability. Those suggest a possible answer and at this point in the project we do not know or include an answer.

    The objective of this section is to describe the outcome to be explained.

    Paragraph 2

    Remove the final five sentences that discuss economic conditions and economic focused explanations. This paragraph needs simply to provide some background on the two candidates.

    Paragraph 3

    Will you be studying 2012? If not, then exclude it. If so, then you need a paragraph detailing the election outcome in similar manner to the 2008 election.

    The last two sentences focus on the role of economic conditions as the answer. Omit those sentences.

    Relevance paragraph

    This one is absent. Here we focus on the relevance of our research question, meaning why it is a valuable exercise to answer our question. What is the payoff from answering the RQ? You need to include a paragraph explaining why it is important to explore the research question related to why Obama won Indiana.

    Dependent variable

    This section can be one paragraph. Electoral performance seems to be your dependent variable. Obamas victory is one variance of that outcome.

    In the second paragraph, the winner needs to receive the largest percentage of the vote. A greater percentage than his opponent may not be correct if there is more than one opponent.

    We do not include data from our specific case study in the dependent variable section. The third paragraph can be omitted.

    Format

    Use an individuals first name only on first mention of the individual.
