Have a Great Class Election
Running a smooth class election takes time. It takes time from the regular social studies curriculum. Once I realized this, I created a lesson that incorporated Social Studies and studying the government into my classroom's Student Council election. By taking the time to teach students the importance of a representative, students realize the importance of the job. In addition, talking about what our class expects of our representatives before they are elected helps the representatives do a better job once elected. This free Student Council Elections lesson is an abbreviated version of my full lesson. I hope that it helps make your student class election run smoothly. Enjoy!
