Your formal paper for the semester will actually be written in 2
parts. The first part will have you write about George Washington’s
Farewell Address of 1796. You are to explore what advice he
provided in terms of foreign relations, and why he offered such
advice (What was happening internationally at the time that made
him consider the issue? What circumstances was the United States
in?). This part should be 3-5 pages long. You will hand this part
in and have it graded as a regular paper with feedback. For the
second part you will build from your original paper (changing to
reflect your feedback if necessary) and consider whether the United
States has followed George Washington’s advice in the last 50 years
(from the Cold War to the current period). This new part, too,
should be 3-5 pages long, making a total paper of 6 - 10 pages.
Both parts must be typed, double-spaced, and must include citations
even if you are only using class materials (though outside,
scholarly, materials are acceptable). Remember to cite all
information used, not only the direct quotations.
