2010 Mid-Term Election jigsaw


First of all, here's the only link you need. If you'd like to go above and beyond that to do some research on your own- knock yourself out!

Here's the assignment:

We have to cover 1 Senate race, 1 House of Representatives race, and 5 initiatives. All seven of those issues/races will be covered by an individual student group which will then be responsible for researching both sides of the issue and making an official recommendation to the student body on how to vote during the upcoming Washington State Student Election on October 25th.

Here are the initiatives/races:

Initiative Measure 1082
Initiative Measure 1098
Initiative Measure 1100
Initiative Measure 1105
Initiative Measure 1107
U.S. Senator (View all)
U.S. Representative (View all)

Like I mentioned above, each group will have time to research their issue/race using Washington State's Digital Voter's Guide (just follow the link) in order to make a rehearsed, well-organized, and comprehensive presentation on their official recommendation to the student body of RLA.

NOTE: The only writing requirment is that your group submit your official recommendation with supporting reasons. One recommendation per group. That's it.

Any questions? Let's discuss....

Viva Democracy! Viva Civic Engagement! Viva Villa!
