ACTIVITIES
Students can write
to the different political candidates to find out where they stand
on the issues that students have identified as important. Go to
Writing
Decision Makers to view
a sample letter.
Students can then compare the different positions
of each candidate in order to make an informed
choice as to who they will vote for. They can
create a "Candidate Report Card"
listing their priority issues and the qualities
they think are most important in an elected
official. Students can rate the candidates on how
closely their views match the students' and on
their leadership abilities. To view a sample
report card, visit The Democracy Network's
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Pick a Candidate. |
