TECH TIP: Election Debate Resources
In honor of last nights first presidential debate, here are two great resources for your classes about presidential debates.
PBS Learning has a wonderful collection of election resources, including an interactive map that shows you where the presidential and vice-presidential candidates are each day. And if you are looking to do a debate in your classroom (on any topic), there is a Classroom Debate download which guides you on how to run a successful classroom debate. (Side note: I love hosting class debates in the library!)
TheWashington Post also has an interactive debate site, where you pick the issues that the two candidates will be debating. You then click on the candidate's picture and it shows you video clips of the candidate talking about that issue. Could be a great way to show students how the candidate's stand on specific issues.
BOOK TIP: Clinton and Trump books
Two books in the MMRHS Library on the two candidates:
Great Again: How to Fix Our Crippled America by Donald J. Trump is the book where Trump lays out his vision for fixing America's economy, military, and education system. Hard Choices, by Hillary Rodham Clinton, is Clinton's memoir of the choices and challenges she has faced in her life, particularly during her tenure as Secretary of State.
