This activity is designed to get students to compare and contrast the political beliefs and backgrounds of Herbert Hoover and Franklin D Roosevelt in the Presidential Election of 1932. It would make a great starter, plenary or mini plenary that could be used with any text book on this topic. The resource includes a Venn diagram and a information box at the bottom from which students can select key facts and political ideas about the two presidential candidates to help them complete the diagram. Once completed the activity, students could add additional information that they have learnt from the class text book or video clip. The aims and objectives of this lesson are: Theme: USA 1919 - 1945 Know: What did HH & FDR believe? Understand: How did their backgrounds influence their beliefs?
