Organizing an Impactful Interest Group Project

This project focuses on how interest groups influence the political process. Each group of 2-3 students will select an interest group and develop a creative PowerPoint presentation addressing essential questions. The presentation should be engaging and provide a one-page informational sheet as a study guide for an upcoming quiz. Students can choose from a range of established interest groups, such as the NRA, AARP, or Greenpeace. The goal is to explore the role of these groups in politics while ensuring a respectful and entertaining delivery.
