Title - Get Out the Vote!
By - Colette P. Thompson
Primary Subject - Social Studies
Grade Level - 3rd Grade
Concept:
1R - Connect: Teacher and students have a round table discussion about the act of voting.
1L - Attend: Students discuss the concepts and listen to a book that discusses the voting process - VOTE! by Eileen Christelow.
2R - Imagine: Students are asked to think about having an election and what would be involved - who would be the candidates, what are the issues, what do the candidates have to offer, etc.
2L - Inform: Teacher writes vocabulary related to the concept on the board, loosely relating different ideas and eliciting correct vocabulary to name various concepts. Teacher tells students that they will prepare a report on voting and this year's presidential election.
3L - Practice: Students are to define all terms presented. They will create a title for their report, narrowing down their topic. They will conduct research using the Internet, newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, interviews of family and friends and other sources of information.
3R - Extend: Students will gather all information and present it in report form. (Teacher will present report format from the Write On Track Handbook, guiding students in writing their reports. Students will complete worksheets, giving them practice in preparing reports before they begin to write their products.) Students will set up a mock election for the class, choosing candidates, registering to vote, making speeches, having a debate, preparing a ballot box and voting for their choice.
4L - Refine: Students will share their work in dyads, assisting each other with editing, revising, and proofreading their reports. Students will design a rubric to score their reports. Students will refine their classroom voting process - designing a method of voting and counting the votes.
4R - Perform: Students will present and display their products for the class. Students will hold a mock presidential election in class.
