Four years ago, my colleague Karen Zill and I authored "Lights, Camera, Debate" an essay published in Cable In The Classroom magazine about the importance of how to watch a presidential debate.
Thanks to my colleagues at MiddleWeb, I have revised and updated this essay on the upcoming debates which includes a link to the original essay, as well as a revised debate watcher's worksheet.
The worksheet asks students to consider the setting, the techniques of persuasion, favorite phrases, rehearsed responses, camera cutaways, and post-debate analysis.
I hope you will share this with those who plan to engage students in the upcoming debates and the media coverage of same.
