- First, research the issue using newspaper or magazine articles, and reputable media websites, to get an overview and background information on the issue.
- Next, research different proposals for policy change, or support or criticism of current U.S. or state government policy on this issue using media and scholarly sources.

Also submit a list of at least 8 sources you will use, including both media and website sources (minimum of 5), and scholarly sources (minimum of 3), using either APA Style or Chicago Author/Date Style.
