Election+2012+-+Who+are+the+candidates?

Lesson or Project Description
This project is designed for students to explore the election process through project based learning. In this first project, students will research the two primary candidates and present their respective biographies. After students have researched both candidates, they select one candidate to focus on. Students then create an accurate, non biased candidate profile of their selected candidates. Students begin by brainstorming important things to know about each candidate and then create a word cloud using vocabulary and terms related to the candidates. Once students have researched the biographical information of each candidate, they select a candidate to focus on and create an animation and a biographical presentation of that candidate.
