Election+Rubric

Comments: || Comments: || Comments: || Comments: || Election/30 The main goal of this activity is to show the students that when the members of each one of the countries let candidates gain power they did not know what they were in for in the future. The candidates that the students will be campaigning for are Franklin D. Roosevelt, Josef Stalin, Benito Mussolini and Adolph Hitler. The students will not know the names of their candidates only what they believed in. The students then will campaign for whatever candidate they are given and at the end of the activity the class will vote on which candidate they want as their president. Whoever wins the election will have their candidates face shown on the board (tends to be Hitler). We will then debrief the class and talk about how the citizens of the countries did not know what they were getting themselves in to.
 * Creativity || Whatever person you are campaigning for you should be very creative. Being creative means that you should not only do posters but you should also write up speeches/platform (what your candidate believes in) to help get your candidate elected to go along with the debate at the end. ||  /10
 * Accuracy || Your posters, speeches/platform and debate need to all be factual. Stick to the facts (you can stretch the truth but do not lie). ||  /10
 * Supporting Facts on Why You Voted For Who You Did || After you vote I would like you to write up a quick paragraph (at least five sentences) telling me why you voted for the candidate that you did. ||  /5
 * Participation || Everyone needs to participate. Since the groups are going to be so large there can be many people working on the posters, speeches/platform or participating in the debate (each group will elect two individuals to represent your candidate). ||  /5
