As the nation looked towards the 2004 Presidential election, students
throughout the Roxbury School District were using the election as a learning
event.
At
Eisenhower Middle School, Team 8S held a mock press conference for the
elections. Students played the
parts of the candidates and their running mates.
Other students presented their stands on the issues and analyzed them
while using a power point presentation.
The rest of the students on Team 8S were divided into 6 public relations
teams; 3 for each candidate. They
were competing for the “Best Team Awarded” by creating an assortment of
materials to promote their candidate. Methods for advertising the candidates were the creation of a
web page, television ad, brochure, campaign buttons, bumper stickers, banners,
billboards and posters.
