From Classroom Teachers | General ideas for using clips
Campaign specific
Where is former Vice President Al Gore delivering this speech? Why would
it be delivered at this venue? What charges does he bring against President
Bush and his administration? What evidence does Gore offer to support his
claims? What evidence has Bush offered that could be used to refute Gore's
assertions? What is the meaning of the term "right- wing ideologue?" What is its effect on voters? Is Gore giving a campaign speech? If so, what strengths and weaknesses does he bring to the campaign trail?
 Media literacy
Who was in the audience? How has the sponsor of this event, moveon.org, been using various media in this campaign? To what effect? Gore says that the Republican party has offered misconceptions to the voters. How is that possible? Could the same be said of the Democratic party? How can the media play a role in either helping candidates propogate false information, or preventing it?
More ideas
To what degree do ideologies rather than facts drive public policy? What are some instances in history where presidents or other prominent elected officials were known for policies driven by a particular ideology? How has this helped or hurt them as leaders?
