[Robert Hironimus-Wendt]

Hi Folks   You might want to find a video of a presidential debate, and have your students view it ahead of time to learn the proper format. Peace Robert   Robert J.

I'm beginning to think they need to see an actual debate. Can anyone recommend a video of a debate or something online? Thanks.   Karen
