1. Read the article given out in class ("In last big debate, Coakley, Baker show emotional side" from the Boston Globe 10/28) or find it or any coverage of the MA gubernatorial election), and write a 3-4 sentence explanation of which candidate you'd vote for, and why. *If you have a tough time with this prompt, since the article doesn't necessarily go into a lot of specifics about each candidate's positions, you may choose to respond to this alternate prompt:
--What does the article suggest about the nature of political elections today? (Use some examples in your response)
2. Read the 4 questions on the ballot and write a thoughtful question or response/rebuttal in reaction to *one* of the arguments in favor or against the question. (here is a PDF version of the handouts from class)
