LHS Senior Morgan Baines explains:
During the week of October 22-26, members of the senior honor's government class are paired and will present the Presidential candidates, via visual aide (e.g. poster), to all Luverne School classes, grades 7-12. Students are allowed to state the facts only (i.e. we ask that they leave Big Bird out of the conversation). Each 3rd period class is representative of a state with the largest class equaling the largest state and electoral votes (e.g. the 3rd period band class, which is the largest during that period, is representative of the largest number of electoral votes). During the week of October 29, students in grades 7-12 will cast their votes. The government class will compile the data, determine an LHS winner and discuss the differences of popular and electoral vote.
LHS Government Students will simulate the map above using the results from the school-wide election. |
