Your students want to learn and they love when given a chance to take charge of their learning!

This resource will give the students the opportunity to learn about different aspects of U.S. elections (whether local or national) and at the same time give them choices as to what they want (or need) to focus on. It will also give them the opportunity to choose how they want to work (alone or in a group) and how they present their findings (notebooking or lapbooking).
Of course, if you as the teacher, want (or need) to assign specifics and give them less control, you can do that as well. This resource is flexible!
