Students review clips, headlines, debate excerpts, and campaign ad transcripts from 2008, then generate several possible inquiry paths tied to issues, public voices, or candidate strategies. The teacher gives just-in-time instruction on the difference between broad topics, compelling questions, and investigable questions with a clear evidence base. Students draft one focused question and one provisional hypothesis about what dramatic angle might best help an audience understand the election.
