In this course students will learn about the election process, including understanding the primaries and caucuses, the general election process, analyzing the candidates and their ad campaigns, as well as many other projects and in-class activities geared towards helping your students become educated voters, while having fun doing so. In addition, we will be doing an in-depth study of our U.S. Constitution using the workbook 'Constitutional Literacy' by Michael Farris, founder of Home School Legal Defense and Patrick Henry College, which will prepare our students to become responsible enlightened citizens with constitutional knowledge and understanding.
