Role-play as a potential presidential candidate and present a plan to address an interest group (your choosing). Use the internet to search what past presidential candidates have said to their constituents. You may want to research past elections. Use the internet to search President Obama and follow what he said as well. As you do so, observe which groups are targeted? Consider questions such as: How did they address their constituents? What were the counter-arguments to their platforms? What tactics were used to address counter-arguments to their platforms? Using the information learned from #2 above, identify the interest group that you wish to address. Write a speech to address your group and include counter-arguments to those who are (or might oppose you). Don’t forget you want to be the one selected by this particular interest group to run for president so you need to understand both sides, present them, and make your argument for why your position is best. In other words, in your argument, explain the policies you plan to implement should you be elected, why they are important, and why counter-arguments are not aligned with the ideologies that you stand for. Speech dos not to be a whole page.
