Tuesday, September 25

Let’s revisit the bigger picture:  PROJECT DESCRIPTION

  • Exhibition:  The vision can belong to all of us?
  • What questions do we have?

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 just yet, but let’s get a good list started!  (Does someone want to scribe our brainstorm and send it to me?)

Today's Question: Where do you stand ideologically?  



Take the quiz and explore the "I Side With" website.
Click on “Other Stances” for more nuanced results
Journal 9.25:
What were your results? Did you learn anything new about your own ideology? 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?


Where do the parties stand on the issues?
Make a copy of this document, or ask for a hard copy.  Try to fill out the T-chart to the best of your ability.  Work in groups if you like, but keep your own notes. Due Monday, October 1.
