Waste

This is your last school to work on this project.  This is a big part of your grade, so I suggest you make sure you do your best.  You should check your (school) email.  If you successfully set up forwarding earlier, you should see it there.  I sent you a link sharing the "Candidates (Students Paste Into)" document.  Only 2-3 people from your group can be logged in at the same time (the limit is 20, remember).  By Tuesday, you must have EVERYTHING filled in for YOUR candidate.  You will present your candidate to the class, using your poster as a visual, while I project the "Voter's Guide" on the screen.  I will print out a voter's guide and have students in my classes (and maybe others) vote for one candidate.  Results will be posted on or before Blast Day.  On Tues/Weds, you will decide (as individuals, then as a group) grades for effort and achievement.

Testing

Perfect Candidate?

You will construct your ideal candidate for President of the United States. You will NOT be able to pick age, gender, race/ethnicity, etc. That will be randomly assigned. But you WILL determine your candidate's political philosophy. You will work within groups of 3-5 people. Your first task is to KNOW THE ISSUES. You will then develop policy positions and a campaign (Slogan, poster/image, etc.). The "Project" will be due next week after three days of computer lab access (Mon & Friday in Media Center, Weds in E118).

Here is a list of policy issues for which you must develop your candidate's position.  
You can check the following sites for information:


PresidentialElection.com
Ontheissues.org
Republican Party
Democratic Party
Libertarian Party
Green Party
Socialist Party
Politico

I suggest you learn about each issue in general terms, and then divide the intensive research among the 4-5 of your group members.Oh, and here are your groups:

5.1 - Ezra, Elizabeth, Rachel, Thuy

5.2 - Ruben, Lindsey, Kelsey, Breanna

5.3 - Caitlin, Oyuki, Fadumo, Amy, Rosa

5.4 - Travis, John, Sam H, Robert

5.5 - Ayrton, Quinn, Sam K., Patrick

5.6 - Cole, Roberto, Brendan, Joey

5.7 - Asia, Cassidy, Zan, Heather, Ka

5.8 - Muhammed, Zach, deven, Jacob, Hunter

6.1 - Eva, Neka, Kym, Jermeka

6.2 - Dylan, Jazmin, Jamil, Emily, Rodney

6.3 - Chris, Maureka, NeNe, John, Shenel

6.4 - Mohamed, Yasin, Mohamed, Jabraun

6.5 - Allison, Danny, Denisse, Elliot, Jermaine

6.6 - Paloma, daniela, Mayra, Jose, Aron

6.7 - Paige, Emmanuel, Alec, Felicia, natalie

I suggest you make a COPY of the Campaign Issues spreadsheet and share it within your group.
