Mrs. Mary Desing, student teacher of Mrs. Mary Brumagin, recently taught fifth grade students at Brant Elementary about the upcoming elections. As the culminating activity in the unit, students completed a video presentation as part of a community service project. Students studied the voting process and the importance of voting to citizenship, learned about the Electoral College, political parties and platforms, and then created a voting booth for the student body. This project gave students the opportunity to develop public speaking and speech writing skills. The video the fifth graders created will be used to instruct other students in the building about the voting process, and prepare them to cast their ballots as well.
