This site has a whole election project outlined, with learning objectives, lesson plans, links etc. Students go behind the scenes to see how presidential candidates' television advertisments are produced. Historical footage, information on how television spots are scripted and shot is provided.
Students create and nominate an ideal candidate, and then run as that person in a virtual election.
Registration is open until November 7th . This site was create by social studies teachers and is supported by advertising. Students can take a constitution test, visit voting Web sites, and add their ideas to a wish list about how to make our country a better place. This is such a neat link.
