The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for The Presidential Election Process:
Overview In this experience, students learn how the presidential election process works. They identify key steps in the process of nominating a presidential candidate. Then they learn about the Electoral College—why it was created and the role it plays in the presidential election process. They present an argument in favor of or against the continued use of the Electoral College. Objectives:
In the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton received almost three million more individual votes than Donald Trump, yet Trump was elected president. How was that possible? It may surprise you to learn that the president is not chosen directly by voters. The president is actually elected by a body called the Electoral College.
Objectives:
Have you ever belonged to a club or organization where you voted for a president? If yes, describe how the vote was run.
Share something you know about the Electoral College and the role it plays in presidential elections. If someone has already posted your information, try to think of something else to share.
Review student answers. Clarify any misconceptions.
