Election Coverage Tomorrow

When students are tracking the election tomorrow, they may use ANY reputable new source; via app, website, or traditional news. I understand that many families have commitments outside of school, so I am asking students only to take 5-10 minutes to take notes on the election updates. They should each mark the time when they recorded the election progress. If they do not have blue or red colored pencils, they can mark an X in the correct column in the chart and then color in the states Wednesday morning if necessary. If they can get it all done Tuesday night, great!

Some students expressed concern on where to find the information. I explained that each of the major networks will have ongoing election coverage. A guide to the network coverage may help in choosing a channel.

One website we have used in class is http://www.270towin.com/ -- it has easy visuals for the class to read and follow along. Some other visual tracking should be able to be found on Politico, on The Washington Post website, as well as http://www.electoral-vote.com/ .

Other websites are useful, however many social media outlets are doing live streaming as well. If students get online, please be aware that online news coverage may not be kid-friendly. A guide to online streaming coverage may help in finding live news via internet.

Thank you all for your support in this; please email me if you have questions.
