What Teachers Are Saying

I like the idea that they need to do research to decide who to vote for. I really enjoy the discussions that come out of the process. The posters, news articles and other readings aobut each of the candidates are great. I like that they each have different jobs to take care of. The length of time for each candidate is good.

Excellent. The students were engaged and discussions about each elected representative were interesting. The students enjoyed reading and understanding each person's point of view and what they represent. Lots of interaction with the students. (In-School program)
