My blog post about this topic can be found here.

I can support instruction for comparison and argument with these lessons that compare the preambles and key values of the state party platforms.

  • Critical Thinking and Voting 2024 – This version has all the resources and links I may use for the lesson.
  • Comparison of Platforms 2024 – This is the version I’ve used most recently in ENGL 1301. This semester I asked my students to vote on a theme for the course to engage their interests and fields of study; this section selected health, science, and nature. Based on previous class discussion, I excerpted sections from each platform regarding health.
