Presidential Election Process Lapbook (6-12th Grade)
Product Description (All products include their E Book)
SAMPLE (PDF)
One of the most important events in American government and politics is the
election of the president. This event is held every four years and is often compared
to a race. We say that someone is “running for office” and that the “presidential
race” is on. People who are trying to be elected to a particular official job are
called “candidates.” Almost any citizen who wants to be president can announce
that they are a candidate. Usually, serious candidates for president are people with
a lot of experience in government (e.g., governors of states or members of
Congress). Choosing presidential candidates can begin more than two years before
the actual election.
Knowledge Box Central
has prepared a Lapbook with the Election process in mind. While the
Elections are somewhat covered to the maximum you will give your kids the
opportunity to actually follow, understand and document their learning during
the process. Lapbooking makes learning fun and takes a lot of guess-work
out of the subject matter and results are captured within the Lapbook.
