Political Party Poster & Essay Project

Help your students understand the key differences of the two major political parties as well as four minor parties (Libertarian Party, Green Party, Constitution Party, & Modern Whig Party). Students will use the party platforms to help them understand the perspectives of the political parties on twelve major societal issues such as healthcare, immigrant, taxes, etc. Then, they will create a poster in groups. Ultimately the assessment for this project is the essay the students will write at the conclusion of the project or on the test.
