We have been discussing the Electoral College in social studies, and I have asked the students to take 5-10 minutes this Tuesday to mark down the election update. I do NOT want students to stress or stay up late; they should just find a time to record the states that have been identified as voting for a candidate. If this time is early in the evening, and there are only 4 or 5 states announced, that is fine. I am providing them with a paper to track the information. We will discuss it in class on Wednesday, so please help ensure that the electoral vote tracker makes its way back!
