New Governor Project

An important part of the democratic process in America is the peaceful transition of power between those that hold office and those that have won the favor of the voters through election. Those newly-elected often work with the previous post-holder and a transition team the ensure there is a smooth transition between elected officials.

Over the course of the next week, you are to work as if you are a member of the Nikki Haley transition team and prepare an important presentation for the governor-elect’s eyes only. You are charged with answering two questions:

1) What is the current state of the state? (Economic, political, cultural, etc.)

2) What is our plan for the future? (This can be anything you think.)

Team 1

  • JA
  • LM
  • TP
  • AM

Team 2

  • TB
  • ED
  • KJ
  • RLW
  • GS

Team 3

  • IF
  • TZ
  • NL

Your presentation must take place in the form of a PowerPoint presentation for the class to follow. Each member of your group must explain at least one slide from the presentation.

Your Grade will be based on the following rubric:

Points Possible

Your Score

Information – This is the most crucial part of your presentation. You must present more information on your topic than anything discussed in class. This requires research in class as well as work on the part of each individual in your group.

Each student is responsible for mastering ALL the material for the presentation. Individuals should be prepared to discuss every decision their group makes.

Use of Time In Class – Stay on topic. Work hard. Everyone in the group must be working on something for the project AT ALL TIMES during class.

Presentation – Performance must show preparation and not simply showing up to present a script prepared by one of the more diligent members of your group.
