Room 755

Happenings in a Grade 7 Social Studies Classroom.

Day 40 - Election Friday

Beginning today, each Friday (and October 15 & 16) our class will focus on the 2008 Presidential Election in the United States.

Today we are going to start with a video from the brilliant explanatory minds of Lee & Sachi LeFever - Electing a U.S President in Plain English.

I am still amazed at how they discuss the Electoral College without using the words one time. Best explanation...EVER.
