7. a) Many Americans develop their perceptions of a debate based on news coverage following the debate. How important do you think it is for voters to watch the debate themselves and come to their own conclusions about the candidates? Explain your answer.
b) Do you think voters should rely on “debate analysis” from the media? Explain your answer.

NOTE TO STUDENTS: This election is very important. It will determine what direction our country goes in - the next president will have an impact on the type of country this will be. Spend time talking to parents, grandparents or another adult whose opinions you respect about the issues surrounding this election.
