Gemma smiled as the various students shared their responses...and she even did a good job of keeping a smile on her face as more and more students mentioned the former professor running...what was it about that one...did they not know she was a liar and relationship breaker....but she did a good job smiling as they all listed names....she was very impressed by how well some of them had paid attention to the debates and the news.

Then she addressed a comment that a few of the students had shared, "Some of you are correct about not making a decision until you know more about the candidates, but remember that it's your responsibility to get to know the candidates better...and that means reading and researching the candidates and their platforms and being active in the debates and articles being published...and from that information you can feel a little bit more confident about which of the candidates fit what you think is most important." she said encouragingly and with lots of excitement...yes she was a dork...politics excited her and was an interest of hers...it was her anthropology background...societies had grown and fallen under single leaders and politics guided it all.

She walked towards the posters hanging around the room that were illuminated, "A great way to get out the word about your candidate is through propaganda or advertising. Many of you chose to do the extra credit assignment from our first homework and create amazing posters for yourself." she said with a little nod up and down before continuing, "These posters are from a variety of Muggle elections through the years and they helped frame an election and opinion about candidates and views." she said walking slowly to each one.



When she had finally made it to the front of the room, she smiled and said, "Is there one poster that stands out to your the most or that you find interesting or different? Does anyone make you more interested in learning or voting for an issue or candidate?" she asked the students always interested in their reply, "Or is there a poster that you can remember that made you exited about a candidate? Describe it to us."
