Title: Important aspects of the candidate's biographies
Course: US Election 2012 - Leuphana Copy > Section: The Candidates

As a class, split up and form two groups − one focusing on Barack Obama, the other one focusing on Mitt Romney.

With the help of the provided links, collect important facts about the two candidates in a wiki for each candidate. Feel free to do further online research, if you need more information. You may choose aspects like

- Childhood and Youth
- College Years
- Professional and Political Career

and divide the research among group members.

When you are finished, the class will discuss in a forum which aspects of the candidates' biographies might be used by them to win voters, and which ones their political opponents might use in their campaigns against each other.
