The Task

International trade has a major impact on American jobs, standard of living, and foreign relations.  Since such an important, pervasive issue has a significant effect on national elections and our American way of life, it deserves close study and analysis. The Republican and Democrat National Committees are each putting together a task force to formulate their party's international trade policy for the next election.  In order to form a well rounded policy and get input from as many interest groups as possible, each task force will be comprised of people from various backgrounds and points of view. You will assume the role of one of the participants on either the Republican or Democrat task forces.

Specifically, your Quest(ion) is:

What should be the international trade policy of the United States?

Your team will develop a Policy Recommendation Report that contains a Three Point Action Plan taking into account the perspectives of the following members of the task force:

  • Union Leader
  • Environmentalist
  • Human Rights Activist
  • Business Executive
  • Consumer Advocate
  • Economist

By completing this Web Quest you should achieve the following goals:

You should be able to achieve these goals by completing a process where you join a team and take on one of the roles listed in the Quest(ion). After each becoming an expert on one of the different roles and generating a Full Report, you and your teammates will work together to create a Task Force Recommendation for the National Republican Committee (NRC)  or the Democratic National Committee (DNC).  This report presents your team's combined answer to the Quest(ion) and will be presented in a PowerPoint presentation to the NRC or DNC (your classmates and teacher).
