Homeschool Project Based Social Studies Famine
This is a Project I created for my 7th-grade homeschooler. It is a basic outline to help a student work through a project-based question.

We held two different election dates. One to narrow down our candidates and another for the final election. After elections where done and announced, students would meet with the grade teachers once a month to help plan service projects for the grade or other items.
