==Format==
== Bonus Credit ==
Your paper should be 8-10 pages long, double spaced, and use a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serif serif] font (Times New Roman, Cambria, etc.).  Please upload your paper as a .doc, a .odt, or a .pdf.


This bonus credit consists of an audiovisual work of your creation, and should be based on your prospectus. The work could be an audio file (such as a podcast or song), a video (such as a remix or animation), or a compelling image (such as a mindmap or photo montage). If an audio or video work, you should aim for a length of 3-5 minutes (there is 7 minute maximum). Content and presentation are much more important than length (a compelling 2-minute audio interview would be great).
You may use any commonly accepted style to cite your sources (Chicago, MLA, etc.), but please be consistent.
 
Possible ideas include:
 
*An audio podcast or video interview with someone doing influential work related to your project
*A video medley and/or remix
*A podcast show where participants debate the topic
*A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_Map mindmap] image that charts out a policy debate or domain
*A photo montage
*A short film
*A song or musical work drawing from various samples such as those on [http://freesound.iua.upf.edu Freesound]
*A song with lyrics
*A visualization, perhaps using [http://services.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/home Many Eyes]
