Decision Day 2014... The Race for Governor

Today we spent some time evaluating candidate websites.  We investigated each candidate's stance on common issues as portrayed by their own websites.  In this way we are learning to detect bias and the idea of persuasive writing for purpose.  We compared and contrasted the differing approaches and solutions to common issues facing our state.  We then decided which candidate's solutions we most agreed with. If we agreed with none of the solutions, it was our job to propose one.

Here are links to the candidate websites which were used in today's lesson.
