The intelligent design results are interesting, although I do have this anecdote that could suggest that many students were confused by the question: As I was "election judging" during my lunch hour, one of my students started to walk away saying, "I quit!" I asked him if he needed help, and started explaining step-by-step how to use the ballot. When I explained to him what that question was asking, he remarked, "Nah, that sounds like more work for me!"
Hello, just curious if there was any classtime devoted to finding out about the candidates/issues?
ReplyDeleteThanks
in their social studies classes yes. also, the students who produce the school newspaper put out a special election edition of the paper with pertinent information.
