Week 2 Discussion Board: The Presidential Election

Week 2 Discussion Board: The Presidential Election 

Hello, Students,

You may have heard people say something like, “This was the most important election of our lifetime.” And it might just have been.  

To consider the importance of the last election and voting in it, we will focus our Writing Project 1 on that. I want you to just start thinking about the topic at hand in this week’s discussion.

Step 1 Read 

To get an overview of the 2020 Election, please start by reading through the BBC‘s “US election 2020: A Really Simple Guide.” Links to an external site.

Step 2 Reflect 

After reviewing the article, please answer the following questions in a 200 -250 word response. 

What did you learn from the article about the 2020 Election that you either did not know before or that you found most interesting?

What specific issues or laws were you concerned with/interested in that was decided by the election (think immigration laws, free college, healthcare, etc).

What more would you want to know about the issues around the 2020 election?
