summary and opinion piece

For the summary and the opinion piece, the format is Times New Roman, 12-point font, 1-inch margins, single-spaced. Both should be between 150-200 words, no more, no less.

The summary: the handout is a collection of eight essays presenting opinions on the successes and failures of the EU. The first paragraph should, using examples and references to specific essays, present a summary of the opinions on the successes of the EU. The second paragraph, again using examples and references to specific essays, present a summary of the opinions on the failures of the EU.

The opinion piece: present a definitive opinion (no “maybe”) on whether you think the EU will be a success or failure moving forward. Again, use examples and references to both the essay and the article(article link: https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/01/european-union-failure-not-inevitable-better-statesmanship-required/) on the failure of the EU.
