Purpose: You are writing a formal memo to the National Security Advisor (the advisors are writing to the president) about what is happening in Venezuela and why the US should be concerned, what policy options there are, and what YOU recommend the US does in response based on your assigned role.

Directions

First, make a copy of the correct Google Doc. Share with all of your group members AND Ms. M (email: Walchenbach)

Google Doc for National Security Advisors ONLY

Google Doc for General Advisors (everyone else)

After that, fill out the key at the top (GAs only) to decide what person does what part. The memo is already divided for you.

Remember, the "options" are from yesterday's assignment! You already did most of the work, now make it a cohesive paragraph :)

If everyone is finished in class, spend 10-15 minutes making sure that the memo is cohesive / clear.

If everyone is NOT finished in class, skip this step

Once your part is finished, submit a link to your memo for this assignment.

Frequently Asked Questions

I am done with my part of the assignment. Do I have to wait for everyone else to finish before turning it in?

Answer: NO. Please turn in your assignment when YOUR part is finished.

Someone in my group hasn't done their work. Should I do their work for them?

Answer: NO. You are only graded on the work YOU do. Someone else's work (or not work) does not reflect on your grade at all. Instead, you should let me know so I can check in with that student about their progress.
