The Ultimate Guide to the Presidential Election

I am planning a big Presidential Election study for our new school year, so I’ve been gathering lots of fabulous educational links about the election. These resources are free unless marked with a $.

More lesson plans will be available as we get closer to the November election, so I will continue to add to this list throughout the summer. Be sure to bookmark or Pin it for later!
