Election 2008


In four years many of you will be able to vote for the next President of the United States of America. Will it be a man? A woman? An African American? A Jew? A Mormon? A Native American? If there is one thing this current presidential race has shown us, it is that the possibilities of who can be president are no longer to limited to white, male, protestants.

Your assignment:

Create a blog post about the 2008 Presidential Election. You have creative freedom as to what this post is about. Your requirements are the following:

- You must write at least three paragraphs. You must spell check.

- Link to a current news article in your post. Like this. Your link can be from any current news article about the election, but it must pertain to your post in some way.

- This can be an opinion piece or a factual piece, but you must provide back up for your opinions and facts. So show us where you found your information. (This will probably require more links!)

- Include a photo connected to the election. If it is not clear how it is directly connected, please explain it.

- Comment on four of your classmates' blogs. You must comment on people's blogs whose names do not start with the same first letter as your own name. For example, I could not comment on Christian's or Carli's blogs, because my name starts with a C, like theirs.
- Complete by Sunday at 5:00pm.
