Vi fokuserer på den amerikanske valgkamp og dens twists & turns. Eleverne bliver præsenteret for hvordan valget foregår, ved gennemgang af valgsystemet og de to partiers historie.
Vi analyserer kampagnevideoer og producerer vores egne, hvor eleverne sætter sig ind i mærkesager for forskellige kandidater (Immigration, Abortion, and Economy).  
Særligt fokus på retorisk analyse.
