Reflection: My Emerging Political Identity
Write a 5-paragraph reflective essay that examines one of the following:
1) What is your emerging political identity? Do you tend to be liberal or conservative? Why? In the body of your essay, explain the reasons that you are finding yourself where you do on the political spectrum (using TEA paragraphs).
2) If you could vote in this presidential election, who would you vote for and why? In the body of your essay, explain the reasons for your decision (using TEA paragraphs).
Before you begin to write, please outline your essay! The intro paragraph should contain a thesis statement (that answers the question), and each body paragraph should have TEA! We will be writing the essay in class tomorrow (Tuesday). Please get a proofread before you turn it in! Due Wednesday at the beginning of the hour.
