1. 2004 Presidential Election Voting Decision
package shared by Hope Manross (Chandler-Gilbert Community College)
Students research the qualifications of candidates running for the 2004 Presidential Election, select 2-4 election issues to research in greater depth, analyze those issues and conclude with a statement indicating whether or not they plan to vote for the candidate based on their research. This semester I plan to add a community based learning component that will enhance their understanding of why voting matters (e.g. how they affected by decisions made by office holders).
