Reading--Election Issues Venn Diagram

1.  Go to this site and read the positions of both candidates on the issues.

2.  Go to this site and create a digital Venn diagram representing the candidates' stand on the issues

A. To create the diagram, fill in the blanks

1. Project title:  Presidential Election Issues
2. By:  (Your Name)
3. Label circle 1: McCain
4. Label circle 2: Obama--then begin to add issues

B. Then begin to add issues

1.  If both men agree:   

    a. Type the name of the issue.   (EX:  Sixth grade recess.)
    b. Give a description of how they agree.
    (Example:  Both want to make school    recess mandatory for grade six.)
    c. Then drag the orange box below the title of the issue to the center of
    the Venn diagram.  It goes in the center because they agree.

2.  If they have different ideas, you need to make two boxes. 

    a.  First type the name of the issue. (EX:  Sixth grade recess.) 
    b.  Put the initials of the candidate
    (JM for John McCain and BO for Barak Obama.) in the description box
    c. Type the opinion that matches the candidate.
    d. Last, drag the orange box to the part of the Venn diagram that matches
    the candidate.

(Ex:  JM wants all sixth graders to have recess unless they are failing their classes.)
(Ex:  BO wants all sixth graders to have recess unless they have been absent during the week.)
