This week in U.S. Government, students completed multiple hands-on activities to learn how a President is elected. We started with the constitutional requirements for the presidency and worked our way to through the primaries, general election, and Electoral College.
Yesterday, we simulated a cookie closed primary. Each student first chose a party by selecting either red or blue. Once they chose, they were limited to voting within that party’s primary. The Red Party had a choice between Biscoff and Chewy Chips Ahoy, while the Blue Party chose between Original Chips Ahoy and Oreos. Students cast their votes, and the cookie receiving the most votes became that party's nominee.
The winning cookies then moved on to the general election. Each student was assigned a state, and students voted again for either of the choices. As the class results came in, students watched the Electoral College map shift toward the candidate who won each state, and the importance of winning states with large populations.
Today, students learned further about the Electoral College by competing in a dice-rolling election simulation, battling to win states by rolling the higher number. As they played, students tracked their results and watched their election maps approach the winning number of 270!
Tomorrow, we’ll analyze the results and explore an important question: How can the winner of the popular vote and the winner of the Electoral College be different?
Happy Constitution Day!
