Name___________________________ Date_________________
Directions Part 1:
Below are two sets of documents.
  1. Describe each document set.
  2. Explain the intent of each document set.
  3. Compare and contrast the qualifications detailed in each document set.
  4. Using evidence from the documents, please select a candidate to chair your state’s education committee.
  5. Using evidence please craft a letter to the unqualified candidate explaining the reasons for your decision.
Directions Part 2:
  1. Create a world of fantasy.
  2. Complete steps 4-5 again except this time select the other candidate.
If you were able to successfully complete the directions in Part 2 please move to the front of the line.  You are obviously capable of ignoring evidence and unable to reason. Therefore your intentions are at the least questionable and at the most destructive. You are ready for a leadership position in Wisconsin politics.
