Hi, Libby.  First of all, welcome aboard!

I was going to suggest something, but then I realized I was writing about the wrong election...  I guess I really do need that sabbatical!

As always, A.

Hi,
 
I am a new member of this list and this is my first posting.  I'm glad to join a community of sociology teachers!
 
I'm trying to come up with a class activity or workshop on the 2000 presidential election.  The students are reading Vincent Bugliosi's "None Dare Call it Treason" article from The Nation.  I don't want to lecture on it, especially since once they read the article, they'll basically know the story.  This is for my night class (2 1/2 hours), so I'm looking for something they can work actively on in groups for at least an hour, or more, preferably.  The course is called Deception and Betrayal, and we are covering this article as part of our government segment of the course ( we also look at individual and corporate deception and betrayal).
 
I'd appreciate any ideas you may have or guidance on where to look.
 
Best,
Libby Larsen
