Teachers' Forum:
How Do You Teach about the Election?
The 2004 presidential election is a prime example of a "teachable moment." Over the past several months, we have posted many readings and activities on www.teachablemoment.org to help teachers and students grapple with issues raised in the election.
As election day nears, we asked Alan Singer, graduate director of social studies education at Hofstra University, to help us open up a teachers' forum by asking his network of teachers how they are approaching the election in their classrooms. Four teachers respond below.
We invite more ideas from classroom teachers! Do you have an approach or a lesson plan on the election that you'd like to share? Please email it to: info@esrmetro.org.
