The latest study was comparing and contrasting the two major parties and discussing the role of third parties. I uploaded a Venn diagram today as an example. The information was taken from the book Friendly Foes for what it's worth. (I mention in case you may disagree with the presentation of a particular party shown here) The point being the parties both share the goal of a strong America, yet they differ in how they define that.
We have also enjoyed these sites:
There are very simple explanations of the election process and the roles and qualifications of a president in the above. The first link in particular is excellent for students of all ages and adjusts the level of detail from early elementary to high school information.
We will be working on the steps to becoming elected president,the electoral college, and the President's cabinet this week and will continue to upload as we go.
Next week we are planning a little party for election night to include party symbol cookies and mapping of the blue and red states. Nothing elaborate but hopefully they are beginning to understand the process.

Awesome. It’s too bad more kids don’t get an education like this on politics. I have noticed in conversations with many people that there is a general lack in understanding of basic party differences, which can make a big difference on a person’s views.
Your election night party also sounds like fun. Better than watching the super bowl!
Thanks. We are also studying the election process so I like your suggestions. We have been referencing Ben’s site a lot also.
God Bless!
That’s a great main lesson page, and I’ll have to check the book out. I like the election party idea as well. Michael has already told me to wake him up and tell him who won.
