Election Day - Mock Election

Our Middle and High School students researched the campaign platform of each of the presidential candidates, chose a candidate, and prepared Powerpoint Presentations as a project for a class with Dr. Monica Rodgers, our English and History/Civics teacher.  Dr. Rodgers then had the students simplify these presentations for our younger students.  The older students then formed groups to present their candidate to the younger students using their Powerpoint presentations and posters.  After presenting each candidate, they helped the younger students vote in a Mock Election.  I have a feeling that the students in our class, the 5-7 year olds, generally voted for the candidate their parents voted for.  Barack Obama was our winner.
