Due October 1st.
In preparation for the VP Presidential Debate between Palin (R) and Biden (D) we will discuss a few opinion / editorial articles. Select at least 2 articles...your choice. I selected 5 pieces (4 from conservative thinkers and one from a liberal thinker). As you read your selections consider:
What are the main points the author wants you to weigh? Faults or praise of the candidates, style, substance, records...
What evidence do they utilize to prove their points?
--------
As we watch the debates on Thursday night let's look for the issues that are pronounced in these op/eds. Did the candidate trascend the analysis...did they showcase or confirm the analysis?
