Course: US Election 2012 - Leuphana Copy > Section: The Campaign in State X

The activities in this section are quite self-explanatory. Your students are now close to being experts on the U.S. election 2012 in general and can use all this acquired knowledge to make a predicton for your adopted state and to present this in a final product.

Encourage them to do research and to think individually - there are many resources to deal with. Try to give everybody helpful feedback; they will appreciate this. The assignment Find out yourself and contribute to the discussion supports this kind of individual work.

Let students discuss their findings in class in the forum Who will win this state and why?, and then form groups to develop a final product. Whether you decide on one final product from the whole class or an in-class competition between several groups and ideas is up to you.

In the Meeting Point area you and your students will find interesting Web-2.0-tools for your final product.
