Week 6
I’ve not seen any replies to Module 5 in your blogs this week. If for some reason you didn’t get Module 5 by email, please don’t forget that you’ll also find it posted to the class website. If you are having a hard time keeping up with the class, let me know and we can work on that together.
Or… maybe it’s just because I asked you to watch that very painful debate. I’m sorry I put you through that! But presidential debates are part of parties, politics and campaigning… even when they may not seem “presidential.”
This week, please watch the vice-presidential debate, which will air on Wednesday night. You can watch it live or afterwards via recording.In your blog post this week, discuss three topic areas debated by the vice-presidential candidates… choose the three topics of greatest interest or importance to you. Did you find the candidates’ statements about the topic satisfying? Why or why not? Did you find their statements in general credible? How do you think an undecided voter might assess the debate?
Poll workers are needed! If you are interested in being a poll worker this year, here is information about how to sign up for that. You will receive extra credit in the class for serving as a poll worker. If you are unable to serve as a poll worker but would like an alternative extra credit assignment, you can propose a different form of involvement which likewise furthers the goal of promoting democracy this election season.
