Ah, anime as the subject of a school paper... I remember doing a similar paper for the ending theme of Wolf's Rain, Gravity, a few years ago.
As for your paper-
I like how you addressed 2008 as a turbulent year, as it's still on the minds of many people and lends a sense of relevancy to the paper. The events you chose to highlight were very good, since they invoke the reader to want to watch Geass by only describing events briefly. They're stunning enough just to shock the reader, and start the ball rolling.
You left off Lelouch's Geass power, which for me is debatable. I might have included it just to make the show seem that extra bit more special ^^ It's just something that stands out to me about Code Geass. I might also have expanded a bit more on the art and character designs, since you're trying to paint a style and picture in the reader's mind. Like bishonen art and the shojo style- perhaps an example or two of what stands out about each style that you see in Geass.
The philosophical part of your essay, however, was spectacular. You captured the essence of Geass, the viewpoints and clashes between Lelouch and Suzaku, and how their complex relationship is what makes Geass unique. Especially how you let the viewer decide who is just and who is not, and how the lines in Geass are really blurred.

All in all, excellent report ^^
