Project Summary
The students will learn the importance of the decision making process by holding a mock national election. The students will pick a candidate completely at random. Students will then research the candidate’s platform. The students must then modify the candidate’s platform to be appealing to the students of their school. The students will then come up with a campaign plan and begin the campaign process of getting their candidate elected by using what they know of the decision making process.
