Directions:
Step 1:
Watch at least part of one the Presidential Debates. I’d say at least 15 minutes.
Schedule: October 3rd: 9:00 – 10:30 P.M.
October 11th: 9:00 – 10:30 P.M.
October 16th 9:00 – 10:30 P.M.
Using the debate ballot provided in class, score the debate. On the blog, post the last part that asks you to decide who won the debate and why. Just indicate which of the three debates you watched.
Step 2: Pick an article or a television show and also post the answer to these questions.
1. Title of Article or Show which covered debate (link as well if possible)
2. What type of media did you use (print, T.V., or internet)?
3. What did the reporter or pundit say about the debates?
4. Does the reporter’s discussion of the debate match your own? Did the focus on the same elements of the debate and come to the same conclusions?
5. Why do you think the reporter wrote about the article the way he or she did?
