Homework for Thursday

1. Watch and/or read the speech given by your vice-presidential hopeful (i.e. the running mate of the presidential candidate) at their party's convention.
Tip: You can find the videos of speeches on Youtube or the official website of your candidate. Look for the written text of speeches by googling something like "full text" "speech" "convention" and "[candidate's name"].

2. Choose one line from the speech that strikes you as particularly meaningful. Write this quote into a new blog post. The line you choose should be at least one sentence, and at the most one paragraph, long.

3. In the same post, write your analysis of this quote: What does it mean? How is it representative of the campaign that your Presidential candidate is running?? What is the message this vice-presidential candidate is trying to send to voters?
