Introduction and Body Paragraphs:
For your introduction, talk about yourself, the group, or identity you represent, a bit about your experience under the Trump administration since he was elected president in 2016. If you have any personal stories, this is a great place to tell those in a short and concise way.
Then, talk about the newly elected president and start talking about what their election means to you, your experience, and others who are in your identity group.
You can answer some of these questions too:
- How do you feel about the newly elected president?
- Are you excited, scared, nervous, elated, or sad about the election?
- What have your experiences been like under the Trump administration?
- How do you think your experiences might change over the course of the next 4 years?
- Is the election a big deal to people in your identity group? Why?
