Rapid Increase in Executive and Judicial Power
summary/ plan for presentation:
This is a summary for presentation, in this presentation you will be presenting the readings of that week to the class. I anticipate the presentation should be around 35-40 mins. and I think there will be three parts:
1. presenting the readings(there are five readings for the week, 2 of them are optional and you can present less of the optional ones)
2. play 1 or 2 videos relate to the readings and the topic for that week(you need to find the videos and put the link)
3. lead a discussion on the weekly topic and the readings( you need to come up with a few questions for classmate to discuss.
Dear writer: for this order you only need to write a shorten version(like a summary of the presentation) including the main point you will be talking about the readings, the name (link) of the video you found and the discussion questions.
after this order is complete, I will place another order so that you will write the details of the presentation(the speech).
I've attached the syllabus and the grading rubrics of the assignment.
My assigned week of presentation is week 11, which can be find in the syllabus. I've also upload the readings to files.
and there were actually only 3 readings. the optional ones are not required. No Filtered
Edit
the optional ones for the week is not reading but a online game linking to the weekly topic. Here is the link and you may want to include it a little bit：

Reading 2: Separated Powers in the United States: The Ideology of Agencies, Presidents, and Congress.
Summary
