step 1
Research at least two interest groups.
Pick one interest group whose agenda you like and one you disagree with to research. Start by finding the homepage for each interest group on the Internet. Conduct further Web-based research to see what news sources have reported about the two interest groups, what some of their recent activities have been, which politicians they support, which politicians they oppose, and so on.
Step 2
Organize your findings.
Use the following questions to help you organize the information you find:
What is the main agenda of the groups you researched?
What role has each interest group played in American politics?
How influential are these interest groups?
Why do you like or dislike them?
Was there anything in your findings that surprised you?
