Donkeys and Elephants and Voters, Oh My!

It is a difficult skill for students to recognize government at its national level. Also, the concept of political action, political parties and their role in the democratic process is hard to teach in a conventional way. These hands-on activities are designed to help students journey through politics from its “grass roots” to a national convention through the creation of a new political party and the development of the convention’s national platform.

Why Vote? A Public Awareness Campaign

Students will learn that towns include people whose jobs contribute to the quality of community life. Students will use the online activity “How Does Government Affect Me?” as a springboard to discuss the importance of voting. The lesson will culminate with the creation of “Please Vote” bookmarks, a public awareness campaign.

Terms of Office!

Students create a classroom dictionary of election terms.
