Media Assignment
"The right to revolt has
sources deep in our
history."

In groups, you are responsible for choosing one of the topics in CAPP Government to find some media
snippets to share with your classmates. For each topic, your group must locate relevant media which
emphasizes main points from Janda and current events/themes.
Media examples could include: videos, political cartoons, news clips, political infograph/chart,
commercials, music, etc. You need a minimum of 3 diverse examples to share with the class during
your topic week. I will do the first topic for you so you get the idea!
All media needs to be submitted to Mrs. Jones via email or Google on the first day of lecture for your
topic. This means as a group you will have to scan your topic chapter PRIOR to lecture to familiarize
yourself with the content. Your examples will be shown throughout discussion of the topic – so there is
a chance you will not all present material at once – but it is still all due together. Point Value: 30 points
Topics (in the order they will be covered):
1. Political Science – Methodology (Jones)
2. Freedom, Order, and Equality CH 1
3. Majoritarian vs. Pluralist Democracy CH 2
4. The Constitution CH 3
5. The Courts CH 14
6. Congress CH 11
7. The Presidency CH 12
“Our Constitution
is color blind, and
neither knows or
tolerates classes
among citizens.”
