Chapter 20.2 Quiz
If you were absent on 5-2-12 you need to make up the quiz we took in class. Unfortunately, you missed the lesson that covered that material and you will need to read chapter 20.2, outline the major points of the chapter and then come to class prepared to take the quiz. So let me know when you plan to do this. This assignment is worth 24 points total.
Mass Media Worksheet
If you were absent on the day we did this you need to download the worksheet and read the section to fill it out and turn it in to me.

Presidential Candidate Project - NEW Due on 4-25-12
Students will sign up to research a Presidential candidate, groups will have approximately 8 students. You will have to decide on what you are going to research and how you are going to present that material. These things are entirely up to you. I have posted below the rubric I will use to assess the presentations. Along with this, each member of your group will assess your presentation using the same rubric and turn it in to me. Each presentation should be between 3-5 minutes long and all members must play an active role in completing this project. This does not mean you need to present, it means that you must provide some sort of vital information or piece of the project. For example, webdesign, script writing, research information, PowerPoint composition etc. If you choose not to play an active role this will be reflected in your grade. If you have any questions about this project please ask me.
