Presidential Election
​Unit Study

Newly updated for 2024! 



"...a rare opportunity...to make learning come alive."  
"The Presidential Election Unit Study was clearly written by someone who really knows the election process. Students will probably find some of the inner workings of elections fascinating... Most parents are likely to learn something new as well...Presidential Elections offers a rare opportunity to capitalize on current events to make learning come alive."  -Cathy Duffy, cathyduffyreviews.com
"I love it! I really like how all of the text is included and there are no additional books to buy.... I think it's a nice amount of work, particularly for older kids. I love that there are several different options for work to go along with the reading (vocab, questions, exercises, ways to get involved, etc.) because it gives so much flexibility to the parent and the ability to tailor it to your child."  -Nicole T., homeschool mom from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. ​​

Why do students need to learn about presidential elections? 

Picture
Presidential elections matter. The races for the White House impact all of our lives for years to come. Even with so much at stake, most Americans know little about how presidential campaigns and elections work. Most students will graduate high school unaware of the importance and inner workings of these contests.

This study, designed for middle and high schoolers, provides students with a complete guide to the presidential election. It will lead young scholars from before the first primaries in Iowa and New Hampshire all the way through to Election Day and the inauguration.

What's a convention delegate? How does the Electoral College work? What are the issues that matter? How do candidates use television advertising and social media? You will find out the answers to all of these questions and so much more.

This study is packed with facts and history. It includes exercises and activities that promise to engage students in the candidates' fierce and dramatic quests to reach the Oval Office.
