Teaching the Election
How are you preseting the election and the candidates to your class?
Each SS class in my school will represent a state and then the school will "vote" as the Electoral College. But before we get to that, I need a good lesson to familiarize my students with the issues and candidates, all non-biased off course.
I'm really at a loss and feel I didn't do a very effective job back in 2004.
TIA!

Re: Teaching the Election
scholastic had some good resources that are pritable. It goes through many of the issues that the candidates speak about. It was written in a very easy to read manner.
