Government Extra Credit

With a presidential election on the horizon it is important to understand your choices when voting for a candidate. We will be researching the two main candidates in our next project, but for extra credit I would like you to interview a family member and collect information.

Keep your report ananymous, but I want you to ask a family member who is old enough to vote (>18) the following questions. Record their answers on a piece of paper in complete sentences. Each interview will be considered for extra points.

1. Will you vote in the upcoming election? Why or why not?

2. What issues are most important to you in this election? Why?
3. What advice would you give me for when I start voting in the future?
4. Do you think it's important for me to vote in the future? Why or why not?

Natural Disasters Extra Credit

Our next project will focus on natural disasters and their effects on humans and the environments. With a growing world population natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes affect more and more people.

Extra Credit- Personal Interview

Conduct an interview of a family member that has been affected by a natural disaster. You will display this interview in a text question and answer format along with a picture of the person. Interviews need to be typed and include the following questions/answers:

• What was the natural disaster?
• How did it affect you? 
• How did it affect other people? 
• Is it still affecting you?
• What advice would you give someone that was about to go through the same experience?

You may email the Q and A paper and picture to me if you need me to print them out.
