I need help with my AP government class

you don't have to make stories up if you have pics. ALWAYS include pics.

You must not ever have pics. Only dry legal terminology and math formulas. anything else is an ignorant path to an education.

I wouldn't have passed him if he made up stories on a paper I'd assigned (unless it was a creative writing assignment). I might have thought twice about it if it was a remedial class and I could see SOME effort in it. But not for AP.

Don't be silly makg, you would never qualify to be a teacher.

That may certainly be one technique, but i doubt that would satisfy the teacher. gonna have to agree w/ MAKG, dont take this advice. Well at least the portion of making up an example, to use real ones is perfectly acceptable.
1. The Supreme Court has decided a number of cases involving civil rights. For two of the following issues, identify the legal issue involved and summarize ( with a case citation) the Court’s decisions on the issue:
Abortion
Affirmative action ( cite three cases )
Homosexual rights
^No stories for this Q, maybe for the identify the legal issue part

2. Both Brown vs Board and Swann vs Charlotte Mecklenburg Board dealt with school desegregation. For each case:
A. Discuss the court’s ruling and its impact
B. Identify and discuss one limitation on school desegregation( look closely at the Swann decision and think critically here-including that of white flight).
^A real story could take up some space here for the impact part.

Nope, not even a true story would pass muster if MAKG was teaching. You fail.

What you are doing is called a strawman attack. I didnt suggest telling an irrelevant story, but you have come to the conclusion that I did suggest that and you are arguing profoundly against a position you put in my mouth.

I agree with you, telling an irrelevant story would be bad advice. I dont know how you missed the bus so bad that you thought I suggested telling an irrelevant story. A story that includes the details of the case and suggests how or why it turned out the way it did is not irrelevant.

the key to filling a page with crap is to make it into a story. find or make up an example of how a person was harmed by the circumstances before the court case and then tell how the case helped that person...

like this:
Quote:
mary rottencrotch got raped one dark cold night in downtown bumfuck, when suddenly she got pregnant with an inter racial retarded baby. she went to the doctors and was about to get an abortion when a cop heard that she was going to get an abortion and he intervened, which offended her right to privacy.
you can make it entertaining and will certainly get a better grade.

A story like you suggest is totally irrelevant to the assignment given. For me to have used a strawman argument, I would have to misrepresent what you suggested. That didn't happen. You suggested that the OP pursue an approach to the assignment that is both unhelpful to his grade and damaging to the educational goals of the assignment.

Don't be silly makg, you would never qualify to be a teacher.

Actually, I do qualify, right now, in some states (including mine and I think yours), as a science teacher. Not all, though.

Do you have any other enlightened comments?
