Description
In this Presidential elections lesson plan, students learn how to win an election by studying election trends and swing states by examing results from the past 6 elections to understand trends, electoral votes, the value and importance of a swing state, and the thoughts behind campaign strategy. Students complete a guided worksheet where they use information from the past 6 elections to draw conclusions and interpret data. Students learn the importance of a swing state and which states are best left alone in the campaign process. In the end, students create a campaign plan on which states they will target based on their historical analysis and research!
