Our unit about the national government could not have come at a better time. One of the things we studied about was how the president is elected. In our classroom Scooby Doo ran against Sponge Bob. We made campaign posters and campaing buttons. We also created lists of the good qualities of both the canidates. On election day each student cast their vote by entering a private voting booth and making their decision.
It was wonderful to see the children thinking about the qualities that make a good president and thoughtfully voting for their choice.
