Identifying Issues in Elections
Election activity at
International School of
the Americas, US
The objective of this lesson is for students to analyze the issues that make up an election--how government does/does not address the problems of daily life, what is a party platform, and how to become involved by voicing your concerns to political parties and NGOs
Throughout this activity, students have learned about how both an established democracy and a developing country address their problems and disagreements. Ultimately, they learned why it is important to vote and become involved in civic life. Almost all ILC’s invited representatives from local political parties to their classes. As a result students send their summaries about political and election issues to their partner schools.
