E53: Mock Election
Episode description
Today in the studio we have some special guest students who got to participate in a pretty cool classroom assignment where they campaigned to become President of the US History Classes. Since the start of the school year, Mrs. Threadgill's history class has been participating in Election Friday where they have talked about the different parties, the Constitution, the Electoral College, and state policies.
Students created their own political parties and would present to the class as a speech. Each class held an election.

They hosted a mock presidential debate. They shared the video of the debate with the classes and students voted for the president/vice president.
