What This Document Is
This is a targeted assignment for students in California State University Dominguez Hills’ Dance Production (DAN 340) course. It requires students to identify and list individuals across the US political landscape – from members of Congress and Supreme Court Justices to television personalities and prominent political figures. Completed assignments are to be emailed to Mr. Ryan by the start of class on Monday, September 19th.
Why This Document Matters
This assignment is designed to quickly assess a student’s familiarity with current US political actors and media figures. It’s likely used as a baseline check for understanding current events, or as preparation for a larger project requiring knowledge of these individuals. It’s relevant for students needing to demonstrate awareness of the political context surrounding dance production, potentially relating to funding, censorship, or public engagement.
