Research Paper & Documentary

For Monday, you must do two things:

1. E-mail your partners and start narrowing down the topic.  Your topics are currently very broad... What do you want to focus on?  How can Congress fix it?  E-mail your teacher if you need help narrowing your topic.
2. Create a blog post with three quality articles/links for research that answers your assigned question.  Your three articles/links must be from an academic source (i.e. SI databases) or a quality news/research website (i.e Pew Research or Washington Post). Go here to get started.
