Congress

Political Science

Choose a current or recent event that illustrates a theme covered in this week’s content on the Congress. Think about what Congress is working on and what’s the

process. Use and cite at least one quality news article or story. How does the article explain a theme or themes about Congress from our textbook or other class

sources? Offer your opinion, thoughts or insight as well.

Some ideas of places to go for your news story:
