Students Debate Election '08 - Section D


What do you think about the upcoming election?




After learning about the electoral process, students researched some of the issues surrounding this historic election. Listen to the student sound bytes (listed at the bottom of this page) to hear what students are saying about the 2008 presidential candidates.

Note that students were assigned to candidates and issues.
So even though they argue persuasively, they may not be sharing their true political opinions. Although students may not agree with their assigned candidate’s position on an issue, learning to defend an argument is an important life skill!
