Friday, September 30

Starter:  OW survey

Fun with satire:  Onion Fact-check

What are some questions that we have about American politics after watching the debate? (yesterday's journal)


HONORS (time to work).  
You can do Journal 9.30 with or without independent research.  Please feel free to use this time to work on your essays, ask Jessica for help, and organize critique plans with your fellow Honors students.  

Independent Work Time: Media Consumption (and journal)

  1. Google media analyzing the debate.  Does it match your thoughts on the debate?
  2. Research some of the questions we have about American politics.
  3. Look at the websites of each candidate.  Read up on their positions.  How do their plans reflect the candidates’ ideologies?
  4. Journal 9.30:  After watching the debate and reading up on the candidates’ positions on the issues, which candidate do you find resonates more with you?  Who is a better ideological match for your own positions?  Why?
