After class members brainstorm a list of current social and political issues, groups each select a different topic from the list to research. Teams create a portfolio of at least 10 examples of stories about their issue, stories that represent different perspectives. They analyze the perspective of each side of the debate, describe the arguments used and the evidence and persuasive techniques used, then compare and contrast their messages with those found with the artifacts on the "Women's Suffrage Media Map."
