Mock Election 3rd-6th
Class | Available
Students will journey through the election process including researching and nominating candidates, formulating a party platform, performing in a primary season mock debate, coming up with campaign ideas and slogans, learning about the primary and caucus methods, discovering the purpose of party conventions, and moving through the general election cycle including a lesson on the electoral college, voting in the election, and the inauguration of the winner. There will be no Republicans or Democrats in this election as our political candidates will be Marvel vs DC Comics' characters. This class completely avoids current national party politics while involving students in the election process in avery engaging and exciting way.
