This final “blog post” can be creative in its format. The core goal is for you teach some concept or idea you learned in the course to a friend or family member using what you develop. You can choose to teach in whatever way you decide, but it must be in a format that is accessible to folks who haven’t taken this course.
I suggest if you do something written, that you keep it to about 1000 words or so (it is not strict; this is meant to keep you from spending too long on the assignment), just meant to give you something to aim for). A short polished piece of work is worth much more than a long unwieldy piece.
The rubric is as follows:
– Demonstrates a clear understanding of the concept (5 points)
– Makes clear why the concept is important for understanding politics in the U.S. (5 points)
– Use language/art that is easily understandable for the public (2 points)
– Showcases original argument, creativity, or imaginative thinking (3 points)
