Election time

I have been teaching my students about elections and we are starting to follow the federal election. The lack of comprehension about how the Canadian electoral system works means I have a lot of instruction to do!  The conversations we have had around it is amazing and interesting. I am thankful for the organization that has put together an excellent package for the student election process: studentvote.ca

Having held a student election campaign prior to this was a really good idea because it helped them develop a concrete understanding of important terms such as ballot, candidate, nominate, campaign, and vote. 

Now they are discovering ridings exist!  And the questions are flying!
