6th, 7th, 8th – The Electoral Process

We have covered the election and the Electoral College for what seems like years now, but it has really only been but a few months.  On Wednesday, Congress is scheduled to get together to confirm (or possibly not) the Electoral College results.  In the final moment of the Electoral College, it is still important for our students to understand the process and how it impacts our politics.

In small breakout rooms, students read a brief article which showcase the steps Congress will take to certify the Electoral College vote.  Next, students worked together to use Cornell Notes to take notes of important points within the article.  Lastly, students summarized what they learned.  We continue to work on the student skills of summarizing, close reading, and discussion.
