Texas Government newspaper

Pick an article from the New York Times, Houston Chronicle, or other "Major Daily U.S. Newspaper" about
Texas that was published during the time this class was in session (8/24-12/7). If you are unsure about what
constitutes a "Major Daily U.S. Newspaper" feel free to ask. Provide a full bibliographic citation and summarize
it. You must pick an article that was published at any time during this class, but you need to complete this
assignment during the last week of class since you need to integrate concepts from this class into your
analysis. Do not wait until the last day to pick an article. That will not give you enough time to think about which
class concepts are relevant and how.
After you summarize it, devote an additional paragraph to answer the following: How does the article portray
Texas? How does the article agree or disagree with what you have learned in this class?
Then you must devote an additional 3 paragraphs to analyse the article in the context of 3 class concepts. The
key word in this assignment is analysis. You need to analyze the article and tie it back to specific concepts that
you learned in the class. Concepts such as federalism, separation of powers, branches of government,
different public policies, and literally dozens more may be relevant to any article you read. The paper should be
at least 2 pages long and include the full bibliographic citation of the article. You must discuss at least 3
concepts from the class and put those concepts in Bold. Please define the concept and spend at least 1
paragraph discussing each concept in relation to the article. Remember, 1 sentence is not a paragraph just
because it is indented. A good paragraph is 5-7 sentences.
