Extra Credit
As young adults, you should be keeping up with current events, so you can make informed decisions as you get older. This is election year and the candidates have already begun battling it out for the seat in the White House. Last night (10/3/2012) was the first of three debates that Mitt Romney (R) and Barack Obama (D) will have. Each 60 minute debate will focus on different topics that are important to the American people.
Your assignment is to watch about 15-20 minutes of last night’s debate and simply give me your opinion of both candidates using TEXTUAL EVIDENCE from the debate or online sources (attach the link if you are using an online news article). I don’t want you tell me that Obama is better because he is better looking. Or that Romney did a better job because he had a nicer tie on J
Once you have your evidence and opinion formed, go to our class blog and post your findings. You should give us a short comparison of both candidates and 1-2 paragraphs explaining their position and your opinion. You can agree or disagree, but tell me why.
