The 2020 Election serves as another teachable moment for all of us as educators. We encourage you to review and use any of the resources listed below. Additionally, as in the past, we will be implementing an Online Mock Vote through Kids Voting Broward. Online Voting will begin October 19th and will continue through November 3rd. Directions on how students can vote will be sent closer to October 19th.
We have listed a few suggested “election” activities below that you can implement in your classroom or school-wide (virtually), in addition to a list of resources related to the election.
• Designate a School Election Coordinator to coordinate a plan to incorporate teaching strategies related to the election.
• Have students create flyers encouraging others to register to vote and to vote.
• Create a school-wide trivia game about the election process (implement through Canvas).
• Announce brief facts about the election process in your school-wide daily announcements and/or in your virtual classroom.
• Have students create online-virtual posters encouraging their peers to vote online. (Or, they can draw a picture on paper, take a photo with their phone and upload it to Canvas).
