Election Scrapbook Project & PPT
Election Scrapbook Project & PPT is a hands-on approach to the upcoming elections. Students will create a scrapbook that is divided into sections such as... "Meet the Candidates" which allows students to get to know each candidate, their platforms, political advertisements and much more. I have also included a rubric and a powerpoint to explain the project step-by-step. This scrapbook turns into a great piece of history for each student which they can treasure forever.
