Easily adaptable to state and local elections

A Storypath unit making elections fun

 

Engage your entire class in this interactive electoral process. Create an interactive narrative where students are in control of creating their own political parties, campaigns, and slogans. Use character-based learning to teach them everything about the American political system, from the start of a campaign to the swearing-in ceremony.

Foster Active Learning

By immersing themselves in interactive learning, students will develop literacy skills, learn how to debate issues, and negotiate problems throughout the campaign simulations.

How will you empower teachers to immerse their students in democratic elections while also building crucial literacy skills?
