Campaign Ads Have Multiple Goals: Ease History Task
As a student of history I think that this is a great learning experience. I am exposed to many political profiles in an interactive manner. I learned interesting facts about presidential candidates that I did not know before, and I was entertained. As a teacher I was searching for a time that I might use this exact aim (Campaign Ads Have Multiple Goals) in a stand alone lesson. I would approach this as a skill that I bridge into a lesson with content that is needed to meet standards. This activity would give me a great opportunity to practice the skill of multiple perspectives and I could discuss particular candidates that I would want to expose my students to. In short I would modify the task by choosing the candidates they will research. Great task that I can see myself using.

It's one of the tasks that seems to work. Instead of asking people to perform a more general task of comparing and contrasting cases, I've found that more specific tasks, like this one, make work in EASE History more manageable. Current case resources also seem to support this task.
