Introduction to Language Practice: Topic - US Presidential Election - Graydon (Thursday 10-12)
Assignment for Nov 13th
Here is a list of the fifty states. Please find one other person in the class and analyze the election results in two states. Your presentation (five minutes maximum!) should include some graphics (you can use my laptop and a projector or the overhead projector). Include who won and in which part of the state he received the most votes. You might also mention why you think the particular candidate did better or worse in some areas of the state.
Put your names (first and last) next to the pair of states you will be looking at (You have to create and account and log in to do so. You just have to click on the "edit" tab at the top of the page. Someone entered this, but I don't quite understand it: if you have opened a clear name account just leave four ~~~~, that will create your name with a link to your user page):
Also, does anyone know how to set tabs and columns without creating a table?
