TAKE-HOME FINAL

I apologize for this not being up sooner. I wrote it all out and thought I'd posted it right after class last Wednesday, but apparently I did something wrong because it didn't show up. Sorry. Because of that, you can have extra time to complete it.

Choose one chapter from our textbook that you find especially interesting or meaningful to you. Pick a case you think is important. Look up the court decision. (You may be able to Google it or else try the library. They can help you.) Read it. Read whatever media coverage of the case you can find. Write a paper of 800-1000 words on the significance of the case and why you chose it. What First Amendment theory did the court follow in its decision? On what do you base that? What can you learn from the case? Please use APA style. I expect at least three sources besides the court opinion, which should also be cited and quoted from extensively. Your paper should have a title and subtitle. No need to double-space.

DUE: No later than 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 16. Please e-mail to me as an attachment.
