Upon the return from our Washington trip we, the Diplomats, will begin our advocacy class. Divided into groups, we will cover important National and International issues: Middle East, Africa, Energy and the Environment, Civil Liberties and Globalization. The week of classes will contain research of a specfic issue discussed during the class, putting together two questions on that issue, and then the final question will be submitted to the CNN/YouTube Republican Presidential Debate. The groups will then investigate another issue, after an indepth investigation each group will create another video; which will then be submitted to ABC News.The advocacy classes will be a culmination, where we, the students, will be able to summarize our knowledge from the previous classes and our trip in Washington DC.
