Activity 8: Greg for Class President
Greg is running for class president. Who in your class will beat him
for this spot? Select different students for different positions in a
class government (ie, president, vice president, secretary, treasurer,
etc). At the beginning of this activity you should have your students
fill out a voter registration card. It could be one you make up or
something like this:
After
all of your students have registered it is time to start campaigning!
Have them make posters and little speeches that they can share with the
class. By the end of the week you can have your students vote. Make a
ballot for each class government position and have them bubble who they
would like to choose. You can even make little booths, made out of a
three sided presentation board, where the students can vote privately.
When everyone has voted you can have a party and name the winners!
