Question: What, if anything, can be done to improve voter turnout and political participation in America?

There is no right or wrong answer here provided that you can support your claims with sound reasoning and examples from the unit. Students are welcome to consult outside sources if they wish.

Responses must be typed and can be anywhere between 400 to 800 words in length. Responses that fall short of the 400-word minimum will lose points. Responses that are slightly longer than 800 words are acceptable. However, I do ask that students avoid submitting thought papers that are longer than 1,000 words. Thought paper submissions should be double-spaced in 12-point Times New Roman font, with one-inch margins. Students who fail to submit a paper that meets these presentation guidelines will receive a two-point deduction in their overall score for the assignment.

Papers should be driven by a clear thesis statement. With that in mind, I ask that you highlight, bold, italicize, or otherwise clearly mark your thesis. Papers submitted without a clear thesis statement, or papers where the thesis is not clearly marked, will receive a three-point deduction in their overall grade.

Students must include the word count at the end of the text of the essay. Failure to include the word count will result in a two-point deduction in your overall score for the assignment. Things such as your name, the course details, the essay title, and information from a bibliography (or reference pages), do not count towards your word count total.

A paper this short should not include more than one or two quotes. Students should refrain from using any block quotes (Quotes that are more than 3-4 lines in length) for this assignment. Students who quote excessively, or utilize block quotes will receive a five-point penalty on their final score.

Please cite any sources that you utilize to shape your response. Students should always be sure to cite a direct quote immediately after the quote, regardless of whether or not the line came from an in-class source, or an outside source. Failure to offer proper citations will result in a five-point deduction in a student’s overall score for the assignment.

Students must support their claims with evidence from relevant, trustworthy sources in order to do well on thought paper assignments. Please avoid sources such as Yahoo Answers or Wikipedia. These are poor sources that do not undergo sufficient editing, or peer review. Students should rely on source materials from official government sources, academic institutions, libraries, news publications, credible think tanks, academic journals, books, established charitable organizations, and trustworthy video sources (NBC News, CNN, Al Jazeera, BBC) for these assignments. Students who cite information drawn from weak/poor sources will receive a three-point deduction in their overall score for the assignment.

Material from lecture, or class PowerPoints can simply be cited with a brief (lecture) or (PowerPoint) at the end of a sentence. These sources do not need to be included in a bibliography, or works cited page. Any other class materials that are cited in the paper (such as an article that I hand out to the class) need to be included in the works cited page.
