What educators are saying

My class loved this! The Electoral College is complicated, but this activity really brought it to life for them.
I used this as an independent activity when I was out. I turned the reform plans into additional slides and had students fill in the organizer on their own. When I returned and we discussed it, I was impressed with how much they had learned.
