PROFILS ET PLATEFORMES POLITIQUES - Lead a class election!
By French Made Fun!
My products are built for middle-schoolers, are never babyish and meet them where they're at. They promote collaboration and push independent, explorative projects.
This 24-page document will have your students exploring Canadian politics and the election process by doing a group research project on platforms, creating an infographic on a politician, discovering their own values (and creating their own platform), submitting their own candidacy for class president, as well as making a brochure and poster to support their campaign. Students will experience a mock-election, will complete registration forms, cast their ballot, tally the votes and decide on a winner. Stickers to encourage voting, and a graph to show tallied votes are included! I love pairing this up with my math unit on statistics and data, and we tend to create charts to show the placings. This can also be easily paired up with units on fractions and ratios to show relationships between parts and wholes.
Through readings and activities, students will develop an understanding of political parties, their platforms, party leaders and teams, the campaign trail, voting and polling stations, voter registration and ballot casting, candidacy and marketing - and they'll be involved, hands-on, at all steps of the way.
Here are the activities you'll find in this transdisciplinary document:
"Survol du document"
"Cartes des partis politiques" (Political party cards to be printed and cut)
"De la vraie politique canadienne" (A graphic organizer for research activity)
"Nos sources crédibles" (A graphic organizer to keep track of information sources)
"Instructions" (For independent, bibliographic infographic project on a politician)
"Justin Trudeau" (A modelled example of a finished infographic to use as a guide)
Blank infographic template to be used by students
"Qu'est-ce qu'un candidat?" (A short comprehension piece with 2 questions)
"Un politicien admirable" (A graphic organizer that has students reflecting on qualities and characteristics of a leader)
"Débats électoraux" (An informative piece explaining the need to cater your message to your audience)
"Préoccupations + Intérêts" (A two-page activity on representing the voice of your constituents)
"Les plateformes politiques" (An activity on making promises about your values, and actionable change)
"Votez pour moi" (An explanation for the final project including success criteria)
Blank brochure template to be used by students
"Jérémie Dallaire #4PREZ" (A modelled example of a finished brochure to use as a guide and reference tool)
"Jérémie Dallaire" campaign poster (A modelled example of a finished poster to use as a guide and reference tool)
"Ma carte d'électeur officielle" (A printable card for each student to register as a voter in the upcoming election)
"Conditions de vote" (An in-depth explanation of the voting process and accommodations available at the polls, and the ways ballots can become nullified)
"Bulletin de vote" (A printable card for each student to cast their ballot and vote in the election)
2 pages of stickers

By Mark Holmes
The project is divided into fourteen sections, including the front pages. Sections include Language/Population, Habitat/Geography, Family Structure, Government, and several others. Each section has a list of criteria and questions that must be answered to complete the section.
I would expect a single student to take about ten weeks, with a weekly goal (perhaps a little faster) of completing one section.
There is a score for each section and teacher info on ways to make it work.
The project contains a cover sheet, a teacher's page, two student pages and a sheet to help students select an appropriate civilization.
There is also a list of civilizations that have an abundance of information available on line.

State Research Project Alaska: Our Scrappy Patchwork Quilt
By The Emergency Sub
Alaska Research Project
Scrappy Patchwork Quilts
A scrappy quilt uses a variety of different fabrics that may or may not use a consistent theme. In this new version of cut and paste, students will make a scrappy quilt using a variety of pattern blocks included in the activity. The students must complete a set of questions or activities to know what numbered pattern to use and where it should be placed on their quilt. Each quilt has its own color scheme (color chart) and those are the colors students will need to create a one-of-a-kind scrappy quilt. Each quilt comes with a header, and some have additional activities students must complete to finish their quilts. Each quilt once assembled with header is 11x14 inches (does not include the size if a quilt has an additional activity).
