to be done in class on Tuesday 3/1 (C and E only)

Today is the Massachusetts Presidential Primary Election, as well as (coincidentally!) the Arlington High School Mock Primary Election.  You will be voting at the end of the period for the candidate of your choice.  

Visit the following sites to educate yourselves about the candidates, and to see where your views align with theirs.  Spend at least 30 minutes on this research:

http://www.ontheissues.org/default.htm
http://upfront.scholastic.com/issues/01_11_16/primary-matters/ (enter classroom code K38TWR)
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/us/elections/candidates-on-the-issues.html?_r=0
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/us/elections/2016-presidential-candidates.html
Visit the official website of at least one candidate.

VOTE!  (for one candidate only!  This is how real primaries work).  You will receive a piece of paper on which to "vote" (and write a brief rationale of your choice).   

You may use the remainder of the time to work on your project for All Quiet on the Western Front.
