Governments I

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

I trust you all have been keeping up with your reading. Exam time is coming up so if you have not been, this is your one and only warning to make sure you catch up and then keep up.

We are now going to begin one of the major writing projects. Be advised that this will constitute a major part of your grade. I want you to select a government office role, whether it be president, kind, senator, governor, etc. It’s best to tell me which you have selected first before you begin your research. You will give me a detailed description of the position, the pros and cons, and what affect this role has on the public.

Belthazor makes a face and mutters under his breath, "Great, more politics." Then he smiles and asks, "Can I do senators? I think they're very underrated in what they do and the role they play."

Anakin tries not to roll his eyes. He may or may not have succeeded.

Belthazor grins at Anakin, giving him a "You're just jealous you didn't think of it first" look.

Anakin smiles at Professor Amidala's response to his question (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/179407.html?thread=7263183#t7263183). "Professor? I would like to write my paper about Senators as well, please."

"As you wish."

Anakin has not seen the Princess Bride or he'd be a giant ball of squee on the floor right now.

"Thank you, Professor."

Hee hee!

Padme offers a smile. "It is true. the position is not nearly given the same attention chancellors and presidents."

[demonbelthazor]

Well, senators are closer to the people, right? So they're the ones who really know what their people need.

*grins*

See, I'm learning.

"You have been paying attention."

[demonbelthazor]

Occasionally I hear what you're saying when I'm not staring at your chest.

"And you're a great teacher."

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

And one doesn't work in the Senate for long by not noticing when she is being brownnosed and/or leered at, so it'd be best to tread carefully.

"Thank you."

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Professor? Are we allowed to choose the same governmental position as another student?"

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

Yes. Not that I think you would do it, but I will advise you that I will be checking papers for... similarities.

I'd like to do a report on the duke's role, if I may.

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

An excellent choice.

[http://users.livejournal.com/susan_death_/]

Thank you.

Ma'am? Can our research include interviews? Since I know this girl who was Queen of Earth for a few weeks once, and I thought maybe I'd ask her about that in addition to lookin' it up in books. *grins*

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

Absolutely!

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

Does it have to be a head of state, or can it be an official in a slightly lesser position? I believe I may have a relatively good insight into the role of the Crown Prince.

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

It can be any position.
