Election Project
This challenging project really pays dividends with your students. I have been assigning this project since 1996. Each time I have had great success. Your students will become very informed citizens in regards to elections in the United States. Watch as they debate issues with each other and their parents. Your students will be more knowledgeable about the candidates than a majority of the eligible voters. In addition, this project can easily be adapted to off-year elections.
