The Learn About the Candidates WebQuest activity sheet offers students a choice of three activities. Ask each student to choose one activity. Form groups of three to five students with interest in the same activity. Each group must include representatives from both candidate camps. Online resources are included to help students complete the activities.
Students learn as much as possible about the life and background of the candidate they have chosen.
Students create a biography of at least 12 pages that highlights important events in the life of the candidate. The biography should include a variety of photographs. Ask students to leave two unfinished pages for each week that remains in the campaign. The students will write a weekly update about the candidate and share it during the weekly press conference. Students use daily news updates to track the travels of the candidate they have chosen.
