2012 is an election year. In order for people to make an educated decision before voting, it is important to compare the presidential candidates and see how they stand on important issues. We won’t agree with every position a candidate has, but can you find some similarities/differences with the candidates?
Introduction
Any Questions? Email Mrs. Walker @ [email protected]
Working in groups of three, you will be working as interns for a presidential candidate of your choice. It will be your job to analyze political advertisements that exist for current candidates. Once you gain understanding of political ads, you will create one for the candidate you have chosen to work for!
