Democracy Project - All Aboard the Campaign Train!
Description:
The students will take the fictional platform from the lesson Donkeys and Elephants and Voters, Oh My! to raise support for members of their party at the local, state and national levels while on the campaign trail. Based on a student-created itinerary, the students will map the cross-country campaign stops. The students will estimate arrival and departure times and the distance between stops using an atlas. The students will take time zones into consideration when calculating arrival and departure times. The students will check these estimates by using Internet mapping sites like MapQuest or Vicinity.
