This 2nd Quarter will be focused on Informational Text. Various age appropriate reading materials will be used as we cover a multitude of topics ranging from the Election Process, Speeches from Figures in History, and other short reading topics. Students will be provided digital text copies of materials, teacher created powerpoints to guide instruction, discussions in class, and various assessment opportunities.

2. Who can vote?
3. How is this election different from presidential elections in the past?
