With just one month before the election, students role-play a third-party candidate who is a distant third in the polls. How will your students respond to questions about the economy? What policies will they adopt to address access to health care and energy independence? Will they back gun control to appease certain liberal groups? Working through all the major issues faced by actual presidential candidates, students get a chance to see firsthand how their attempts to win favor among voters affect election results.Topics covered: Presidential Elections Party Politics Liberal vs. Conservative Policies Features & Benefits Through role-playing simulations, students learn and apply the lessons of history. They examine fundamental historical and social studies events and ideas, including the crafting of the U.S. Constitution; the expansion of ancient empires; the building of democracy in developing nations; New World colonization; sustaining the environment; handling peer pressure; and more.
