- Assignment:
- Create Your Own Presidential Candidate
- Due Date:
- Students A-M: February 11th
Students N-Z: February 12th
- What is included:
- You will create your own presidential candidate and write a two page
description (two sides) to include their position on at least three
issues that are important to the American people. It cannot be a current
presidential candidate. You can provide a short biography of your
candidate. Remember, it is your view of what an acceptable presidential
candidate should offer the American people. You can create your own party
or they can be from the Democratic or Republican party. You will present
a speech to the class as this candidate and should try to persuade them
to vote for you. You must include at least one campaign poster for your
presentation. If you wish, you can also provide handouts (leaflets) to
the class. You can also dress as the candidate. Remember you should be
persuasive when you give your speech. You must convince the class that
they should vote for you.
- How this will be graded:
-
- Paper will be handed in to me and be checked for correct grammar,
capitalization, detail, and topic.
- Speech should be persuasive and you should not rely on reading it,
but perhaps use index cards with main points to follow as you
give your speech.
- Poster should use correct grammar and capitalization. (Posters
are only about fifty cents at Walmart.) I will buy them if you
let me know within a week.
- Creativity in writing and presentation.
- Remember:
- You have over a month for this assignment. This assignment should not
appear as though you prepared it the night before it is due, or it will
be graded that way.
THIS SHOULD BE AN INTERESTING AND EXCITING ASSIGNMENT.
ENJOY PREPARING FOR IT.
