Students will create a side-by-side chart comparing all three candidates, so voters can easily see the differences between the Republican, Democratic, and a third party nominees. Students could construct their charts on posters or paper and use the four questions in the note-taking sheet to organize their charts. Students should take special care to present their research findings in a way that feels fair and impartial — and that allows readers to be empowered to make their own choice.
