Teaching about the 2006 Elections with the Internet
Risinger, C. Frederick
Social Education, v70 n6 p370-373 Oct 2006
In this article, the author discusses how to teach the 2006 elections in middle or high school social studies and provides ways and some websites for social studies teachers at all grade levels to help teach about the 2006 midterm elections. One way to teach about the midterm elections would be to develop individual or group assignments that focus on state issues and candidates in the state where the students live. He lists the websites that provide a wide array of teacher resources, lesson plans, and databanks of information. Among other things, he describes the Washington Post, Project Vote Smart, and Rock the Vote.
