Directions
Today you’re all producers for “Trillion Dollar Footprint,” a popular TV show that tours the country looking for teens to compete in a nationwide talent show. You’re looking for a new host for the show. Based on personal statements from several applicants, you have narrowed the candidates to two: Linda and Jason.

The executive producer has hired a private investigator (PI) to dig up whatever he or she can about the candidates online. The PI has created a profile of both of the final candidates with the most important online documents he could find. He has passed along these profiles to you.

Based on these profiles, the executive producer wants you to choose which candidate should host the show. You should be very careful how you choose. Your candidate will be seen by millions of teens, so you should make sure that she or he, in particular: 1) works well with others, and 2) is honest.

Step 1:
Working in groups, look carefully through the profiles of both candidates.

Step 2:
Highlight the information you think is most important, given that you are looking for someone who works well with others and is honest.

Step 3:
Fill out the Feedback Form on the last page of this handout and reach an agreement as a group about who should be the host.

Step 4:
Be prepared to present your selection to the rest of the class, along with specific supporting evidence.
