The introduction should also tell the reader why/how this mattered with respect to the 2022 midterm elections.
- Have the first body paragraph (at least 1/2 of a page) discuss your specific focus with respect to the New York Times piece itself. This means that you can summarize what the New York Times piece discussed and why your specific focus was mentioned in it. There should be another direct quote from the New York Times piece related to your summary here.
- Explain the connection of your specific focus to course materials, specifically the class text (at least 3/4 page). This means that you should present information from the class text which helps to explain the specific focus you chose. A minimum of two direct quotes from the text are expected.
- Locate three (3) news articles dated November 8, 2022 or later which present information related to the focus of your paper. These news articles should be from credible news sources (Use a library search engine to help find credible sources).
