Legislative Branch Quiz Monday


First Period Only:

For tomorrow, you are to write a one-page paper on how a single presidential candidate can become president. This should demonstrate knowledge of the electoral process, the candidate, the candidate's platform and appeal, and the electorate. You are not expected to be a political scientist, but you are expected to be able to give a layman's view of what a candidate must do to win. See the New York Times article posted a few days ago for assistance.

Win mission 2 advanced.Print your winning screen for each.

Note: originally you were asked to complete both mission 2 and mission 4. However, due to time constraints, I have removed the mission 4 requirement.

You should know who is currently in the presidential field. We will have a quiz over this late next week, so you may as well start looking them over now.
