Prior to the winter break (which was awesome) you all read, annotated, and outlined Patterson ch. 6-8 on political socialization, public opinion, political participation, and the electoral system.
Now you will read, annotate, and outline the corresponding chapters in Barron's, ch. 11-13. These sections overlap imperfectly, as they always do, so it's important to both reinforce what they explain in common as well as to take careful note of key differences that exist between the sources.
You will upload your outlines to Google Drive, and then use then merge the two sets of outlines and write an extended multi-chapter synthesis of these topics in the form of a blog post.
You need to make sure you define and explain (using facts and examples) ALL key terms from BOTH sources. It must be written in integrated, flowing prose, and NOT as a list of facts. Approach it as though you are writing a third text based on the first two sources. Finally, you must also include images that aid the viewer's understanding of the core concepts.
This task is due on Monday before the beginning of class. We will co-critique one of the syntheses at that time, so you can get feedback with which to make improvements, if necessary.
