With a federal election set for May 2, can the elections assignments be far behind?
Of course not.
This week my Creative Communications journalism students will choose one of a dozen or so topics, then do some research and present their findings to their class.
Here’s a preview:
Who are the leaders of the federal parties? What are their personal and political histories? Tell us something we didn’t know about each of them. Tell us about a couple of past leaders: the good, the bad (always more interesting) and the otherwise. Finding fun facts is encouraged.
Funny, eh? Show us current and historical examples of interesting cartoons, satire or other humorous takes on Canadian politics.
Wild card: Show us at least 10 interesting things that we did not know about Canadian politics and elections.
Research early and research often!
