Elections Unit Study
By Amanda Bennett
We the people ARE the government here in America – we elect our leaders to lead our country and represent us through our elections! By voting, we are able to express our own opinions on issues through our choices of candidates. As the next generation begins to mature and prepare to be a part of their communities, they need to understand that their vote is their voice. The freedom to vote and choose our government representatives is a freedom that has been obtained and defended at the cost of many precious lives. They need to understand the election process, the workings of American government and the impact that they can have on the process as well as the future of our country.
With this unit study, your students will learn about:
Ø History of elections
Ø Basic structure of representative government
Ø Voting and election process
Ø Campaign participation and opportunities
Ø
Presidents,
their families and their opponents
