Here is the assignment.
It is due Thursday, March 31st.
United States foreign policy is arguably as contentious of a topic today as it was nearly a century ago. The U.S. led War in Afghanistan, the War against ISIS, and the War on Terror dominate the news headlines, yet the United States is also intimately involved in the political and economic affairs of dozens of countries throughout the world. The United States continued influence on the affairs of other countries have led some to charge that U.S. foreign policies represents a new form of American Imperialism.
You, Cleveland High School 6th period IB HOTA experts, have an opportunity to weigh in on this contentious debate. Our Representative to the United States House of Representatives, Earl Blumenauer, is asking you for your advice before the current session of the United States Congress adjourns. He has powerful connections in Washington, D.C. and wants to make sure that U.S. foreign policy is guided by the sound thinking of IB HOTA students at Cleveland.
As always, reach out to me with any questions or ideas. I am confident you will do well if you review your notes, graphic organizers, and readings from the unit.
