Presidential Campaign Project
Today you should have randomly picked a candidate and issue that you will have to research. Your job this week is to find out everything you possibly can about your assigned candidate's position on that issue. What does he have to say about it? What does he believe? Does he think it requires reform? What are the specifics claims he's made about that issue? What are the specific points he has delineated about the issue?
Think about the LOGIC behind what your candidate has to say about the issue?
In what way do the public's EMOTIONS drive this issue?
What are the ETHICS involved in shaping policies related to this issue?
Has your candidate made his position on this issue CLEARLY or VAGUELY?
What persuasive techniques or rhetorical strategies has your candidate used to communicate his position on this issue?
Next, you'll need to find out how your candidate's OPPONENT has attempted to REFUTE your candidate's argument.
Get to know your candidate. Your primary source will be his website:
Obama Romney
Secondary sources should be reputable news sites. Watch out for bias in the news. Don't forget that you also need to remain objective and unbiased as you prepare to discuss these issues.
