There will be a long lay-off between our Thursday classes and during that time we will be electing a NEW PRESIDENT -- how exciting! In keeping with this event, we will be discussing the Electoral College system. I will be giving out an optional assignment that involves some data collection. I have listed some good sources for finding these data to help in your research.

I hope you will all use this activity as an opportunity to discuss the election with your families.
