Title - Election Issues
By - J. Griffith
Primary Subject - Social Studies
Secondary Subjects: Language Arts
Grade Level - 4-8

Objective: Students will watch the upcoming presidential and vice-presidential televised debates (or any candidate debates).

Materials: Television and journal.

Activity: Students will watch the debates. Younger students could choose just one question that is discussed between the candidates and write whether they agree or disagree with the response given by the candidates. The older students could give an overall view about how they feel about the questions and responses of the debaters.

Extra activity: After students have observed the debates, they could set up a mock election and debate in the classroom. Students who are interested in participating in the debate could run for president. A primary election would be held for these candidates. The two winners would then have the mock debate. The two runners-up could have a vice-presidential mock debate. Assign other students to ask questions, and assign one student as a monitor.
