Election Extra Credit

To help students better understand the election process and the responsibility of voting, I am encouraging parents or another trusted adult to take their child with them to vote as an extra credit social studies opportunity.  To receive credit, after walking through the actual voting process, they are to write a paragraph explaining the process and what they experienced.  They do NOT need to include who ballots were cast for but rather explain the process from beginning to end.

Please include/explain at least one issue or race at the national, state, and local level.

Since early voting has already begun, students have until November 8 to observe the voting process (if possible).  Their paragraphs are due no later than Wednesday, Nov. 9.  They may be handwritten or submitted through Google Docs.

Thank you!
