What educators are saying

This was the highlight of the year so far for my students in 8th grade civics. Heard kids talking at the locker about how fun this assignment was for them
My students were really engaged with this activity. They worked really hard to make sure their party ended up winning the electoral college.

NOTE: I highly recommend teaching about the Electoral College FIRST by using The Electoral College Lecture & Activity.

California Standard: 12.6.6. Analyze trends in voter turnout; the causes and effects of reapportionment and redistricting, with special attention to spatial districting and the rights of minorities; and the function of the Electoral College.
