Public Policy Part 6: May 3
Public Policy Part 6: Conclusion/Prediction
In this section of the paper, you will look back on your research and predict whether or not this bill will be successful. What changes will have to be made in order for the bill to become law? If it becomes law will it be implemented properly and adequately address the policy issue?
Research Note: You should go to a public library and check out some books related to your topic. You should also contact interest groups, agencies and congressional committees involved in your topic. They will normally be more than willing to send you information on your topic. You may even get the chance to conduct an interview. Additionally, once everyone has chosen a topic, I will request Congressional Research Service Packs from our congressman. You must have at least three sources beyond the Internet. YOU MUST CITE EVERY PIECE OF INFORMATION YOU OBTAIN!!!
The following website will help you with the proper form for source citations:

For information on your topic, I suggest beginning with a Google or Yahoo or Ask search often the issue or bill name + prediction is a great starting point. (e.g. Iraq troop funding prediction) Then, branch out beyond the Internet.
Simply make a prediction based upon your research. You should compare your own thoughts to the predictions of other political pundits.
Compile all of your research into a rough draft, which is due by the end of class tomorrow, May 4th.
