With the presidential elections ahead of us and the debates already starting, this might be a great time to do teach your kids and young adults about the election process. Electing America’s Leaders from KONOS is a hands-on, nine to ten week study designed to not only teach students about politics, but to inspire them to get involved and stay involved in the process as they become adults.
More than just a study of the electoral process, Electing America’s Leaders is a well-rounded study covering topics such as: the history of our electoral process, the different types of governments, the electoral college, the three branches of the U.S. government, the process of electing a president (including requirements for running for office), our two party system, who can vote for president, the inauguration, daily presidential activities, and more. Throughout the study, students are challenged to look at our leaders and those who would want to be president through a Biblical worldview.
As with all KONOS unit studies, activities and assignments provide lots of opportunity for discovery and discussion. Students get lots of ideas and inspiration to get involved in the election process at a grass-roots level. Students from K - 12 will benefit from this study, and there are activities that fit each level of learner, however upper elementary through high school will gain the most benefit from this thorough, Biblical approach to being a prayerful, active and involved citizen.
