Description

Driving Question:

Should we continue to use the Electoral College to decide who will be the President of the United States?

Description:

In this project, students will have the opportunity to research and then create a brochure on the use of the Electoral College for electing the President of the United States. In addition, students will choose whether or not they agree with the use of the Electoral College and participate in a debate. There are multiple opportunities for problem solving and student inquiry. This project also provides an Electoral Vote simulation.
