Presidential Debate
Yesterday (February 11), we had a mock U.S. Presidential debate, in which everyone in our class was on a presidential candidate’s “team” and researched one issue for that candidate. Then, each candidate “experts” presented their issue and argued their case. My candidate was Mike Gravel, the independent candidate from Alaska. I had a bit of a hard time researching his issues, and it was difficult to find his standing on a lot of the issues. It took a long time to get in depth research notes about his standing on most topics. OnTheIssues proved to be the most valuable resource for finding info. The debate overall went very well, although on some questions I had to guess Gravel’s standing on those issues based on his opinions. I was the delegate for National or Homeland security (what’s the difference?), and overall, I did well. I proved good points and I think that I did a good job.Labels: Presidential Candidates, Reflections
