Running for Office...

Today we kicked off our Election 2014 project. The class was divided into three groups and will choose Wednesday, September 24th, who in each group will run for President, for the Senate, and for the House of Representatives. Here are the groups:

• Group 1--Cristiana, Catherine, and Clint
• Group 2--Cynthia, Katie, and Libby
• Group 3--Bianca, Abe, Michael, and Brooke

Wednesday, September 24th, will be our first in-class workday. The goal for this work period will be to decide which office each candidate will run for in their group, the name that they choose for their political party, and begin work on your party's platform. Please bring information on political issues that you believe your party should address.

Also, I will be taking each candidate's picture on Thursday, September 25th, for the Election 2014 bulletin board. This is so you can spruce up a bit!
