To do so, complete the following tasks:
- Look at a current news source and find an article on the current state of the campaigns. Read the article and open up a new blog post. Summarize and comment on your article in your post. Consider-have you been paying attention to the campaigns at all? What is this article telling you about the state of the race?
- Next, use these two sites to explore and compare the candidates' views:
- Choose at least 4 candidates to compare and then return to your blog post. In the next section analyze the candidates. How would you categorize each? What seems to be important to them? Can you make generalizations and conclusions about their policies?
- Finally, use these sites to see which candidate most closely aligns with your views and beliefs.
- You should try both and see if the result matches up. Then, return to your blogpost for a final time and make some conclusions about your results. You don't necessarily have to state what your results were-unless you choose to-instead consider if anything was surprising. Did both sites select the same candidate for you? If not, why do you think there was a discrepancy? Do your results match up with what you expected? Do these sites influence how you may look at the candidates and the upcoming races and primaries?
- When finished, publish your post. This is required but does NOT count as a weekly blog post.
Your homework for the weekend is to read and annotate the following article. Confessions of an Ivy League Frat Boy. Then you should do a formal response to it and add it to your portfolio. The response should include what you knew and thought about hazing prior to reading the article followed by your reaction to the article. What, if anything surprised you? Why? What do you think of Andrew Lohse? What could he have done? What responsibility does the university have? Other commentary?
