Where do you stand ideologically?
Starter/Journal 10.6: Where do you believe you are on the American political spectrum? Where do you think your political ideology comes from? What values is it rooted in?
Brainstorm in pairs: What are some topics/political issues that you could study for this project? (REVIEW “Topic Choice: Framing the Binary, Choosing Sides” on your project description) The https://www.procon.org/ website might be helpful to check out at this point. You don’t have to choose your topic until next week, but let’s get a good list started! (Does someone want to scribe our brainstorm and send it to me?)
Take the quiz and explore the I Side With website.
