Extra Credit

April 27th will be extra credit night. To earn 25 points toward your final grade you must give a 5 minute presentation on one of the following readings listed below:

Militants Found Recruits Among Guantanamo's Wrongly Detained

America's Prison for Terrorists Often Held the Wrong Men

Behind TV Analysts, Pentagon's Hidden Hand

How TalkingPointsMemo Beat the Big Boys on the U.S. Attorney Story

The Climate Change Lobby Explosion

Web2.0 Debate: Keen v. Weinberger

A Hereditary Perk the Founding Fathers Failed to Anticipate

Net Neutrality's Quiet Crusader

Supreme Court Upholds Voter Identification Law in Indiana

Voter, Beware

Choose one of these readings and then tell the class about it. Be as thorough as possible and be prepared to answer questions. You may use any visual aids, handouts, etc. that you'd like. If you feel you must use a powerpoint slide show, do not include words on any of your slides. I'll discuss more details about the assignment in class next week.

These will be assigned on a first come first serve basis. Use the comments section of this post to claim one of the articles. You'll present in class in the same order. I'll add more articles if necessary.

    I mentioned in class last week that you hadn't given me credit for my blog and comment. You still haven't given me a grade and this is the third time I have told you about it. If you get the chance please fix. Thanks, Lindsay
