Road to the Capital
Filed Under (current events) by jacksontech1 on 22-08-2008
Thanks to Jason Parrish I clicked around the Parent/Student Mock Election website. It is sponsored by the National Council for the Social Studies and just about every other heavy weight national education group. Activities and lesson plans for teachers abound. There is a BrainPop video explaining the election process and lesson plans for children K and up. There is a game that looks very cool where the kids get to run for office and launch a campaign called The Road to the Capital. You can enroll your class and parents or your entire school to participate in the Mock Election being held on October 30, 2008. Your entry must be recieved by early September so better get a jump on it.
