From Classroom Teachers | General ideas for using clips
Campaign specific
 Consider the role of the candidates'
families in a campaign. Should a presidential candidate's family
take an active role in the campaign? Was Bush's family an
asset? To what degree? What observations did
this photographer make about American
elections?
Media literacy
What is the goal of the
Newsweek special issue? Why would Newsweek wait until after the
election to release an article like this? Would it be of more
value if the reporting and analysis were available to voters
before Election Day? What does he mean when he refers to the
"control" campaigns practice with regard to the press? What was the
difference between covering the Kerry vs. the Bush campaign? Who has
the upperhand in a campaign, the press, or the candidate and
campaign
staff?
More ideas What can photographs reveal about
a campaign that a written narrative cannot? What can't
photographs communicate? How does this photographer
portray George W. Bush? What does his portrayal contribute to the
campaign? What does it contribute to history?
