Form groups of 3-4 students to study the topic which is represented in one of the cartoons in-depth. You can use the choice Build research groups for organisation.

In your group, conduct a web research on the topic addressed by your cartoon. Start your work using the Web resources for your research and use other resources you find appropriate. You can divide the task among group members and do some individual homework before you meet again.

Find out what both candidates’ campaigns say about your chosen issue and take notes in your blog.
