Reflection by Alex

I thought that my role in the campaign was important because it is important to have a biography because you need to know about a person's life to really know what kind of person they are. Their education is important, and so is their childhood. It is good to know about a person's life before you vote. I think it is important to cooperate with my team members because the speech writer needs all the information of the biography writer and the policy writer to actuallly write the speech. We did this by giving eachother all the information and making sure everything we put in our paragraph(s) was good.

Five things I learned about the role of a president during this project is that they have to work very hard just to become the president. This is important for campaigning because they have to work so hard and spend a lot of money. I learned that in voting you don't get the total amount of votes, you just get states. You should know this so when you get to vote you'll understand it. I learned that the president has to make some very hard decisions, and either way they might have people mad at them. The president is under a lot of preasure in these situations and it's important that he can think it through and make the right decision. I've also learned that the presidents never really get any free time, especially in times like these.

I think this was a fun project. It really helped me understand a lot more, and learn a lot more about the canidates. If I were going to describe this project to someone outside of school I would say that we had a group. Each group had to pick a canidate. Then you would have to be on a campaign, and write a biography, a speech, and a policy. I think that this projct would make me a better voter when I grow up becaus e now I will know to research the canidates before I vote.
