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 750-1,000 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 2-3 quotations from the

text), and

3. A concluding paragraph about what you learned.

This assignment is worth 100 points, so it carries a substantive weight of about 20% of your final

grade. Keep the following guidelines in mind to avoid having points deducted from your work:
