SILVERDALE—Seventh grade social studies teacher, DJ Sweet, had five of his classes work on a project called Pathway to Presidency. The project was about the delegates that a candidate was earning in the caucuses and primaries over the span of five months which began in January and ended in June. The students chose what political party they were most closely aligned with—either Republican or Democrat. They used a website that had all the dates about the Primaries and Caucuses and then used a google map to write where the primaries or caucuses were held. They also collected some information for subjects like science where they had to write the state animal or plant and a few details about them. While in language arts, they had to use literary terms in a sentence that was based on the state itself. “I believe that the Pathway to Presidency project was designed to let students study about their states and capitals,” said Mr. Sweet, “which is relevant.” Currently, the candidates that are running for the presidential election are Donald Trump who is a Republican, Bernie Sanders, and Hillary Clinton who are both Democrats. “Bernie Sanders is the one I support,” Kylie Deerwester said, “because he makes the most logical sense out of all the candidates.” Comments are closed.
