One-page reflection
Before Strategy: My before strategy is that the students will be able to access and address their prior knowledge regarding the election process. The election process in today’s society tends to get over looked and not a lot of students or young people understanding what truly goes into the election process. Therefore, my rationale for choosing this particular strategy was it allowed students to have a hands-on activity that allowed them to utilize their prior knowledge of the election process as well as learning from their peers. I expect my students to learn two things from this strategy one team-work and the general knowledge of how the election process works. In regard to this strategy helping students read and negotiate difficult text this allow students to understand especially in regard to historical text that events have to go in order when it comes to understanding events in history for instance when it comes to understanding different battles in wars and so on.
During Strategy: My during activity is have the students read over different quantitative or technical analysis in digital text form. The particular quantitative or technical analysis text allows students to gain a deeper understand onto why the election process is just as equally important for them to individual understand. Secondly by having the students read over different quantitative or technical analysis and compare the different perspectives of each text with another student in
I observed that my students were still engaged once they moved on to the secondary source, and that they could work successfully on their skills as individuals. The scaffolding of my lessons also allowed the students to develop the skills of interpretation and analysis in relation to accounts of historical events. By taking these notes on their bucketing worksheet, students were building support for the arguments they would use during the upcoming debate. They were gathering evidence to support or reject the constitution. After this activity, each student will have facts to support their side of the argument. This scaffold will help the students when they start to research their other debate topics independently. Once they were given their sides of all the debates during the constitutional convention they were ready to find facts that supported their side of the argument. Another way I helped my students build and support their arguments was by providing them with feedback. This starts at 4:15 in my first video
Select the most appropriate format to persuade your intended audience of the resolution to your issue. Possible formats include a political campaign, a city council proposal, an editorial article, a commercial, a radio-style podcast, a comprehensive political pamphlet, an interactive game, a website, and so forth.
In this country, we hold elections every four years to select the president. The founding fathers of our country established the electoral college to give the original thirteen states a fair voice in the election process. This country electoral called the electoral college into question on more the one occasion. In the most recent election, President-elect Donald Trump won the electoral vote over Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. This election has sent the country into an uproar and citizens of the United States are now challenging the legitimacy of the electoral college process. This paper will examine whether this process is reliable and valid when choosing the leadership of this country.
The U.S. electoral system was created to give every citizen a say in who their elected officials should be, but this system has failed miserably. The right to vote is a basic right that needs be provided to every American regardless of such traits as political party, religion, or ethnicity. It is unethical to deny a person the right to vote and historically that has been a major problem in the United States. Our election system is completely corrupt and voter rights is not the only problem, strategically drawing voting districts is also a major issue. Our current electoral system is corrupt and unethical because of gerrymandering, the breaking down of the voter rights act, and voter ID laws.
In the Electoral College system, as presented by Hamilton, every voice is heard and there is a greater guarantee that the elected will effectively represents those voices in office. During election season, the people in the states vote for the representatives that will make up the Electoral College. The people within the states will votes for the prudent few that they believe best conform to their political interests, just as they do for those voted into the House of Representatives. As a result, the few elected representatives in each state mirror the average person within their state. The desires, beliefs, and interests of those representatives hold the same desires, beliefs, and interests of those within the state. The only difference is that the votes of those few would hold more weight than if everyone in the states vote. Each representative in the Electoral College casts his vote with the knowledge that their vote will change the course of their country and affect the lives of their fellow countrymen. The gravity of such a responsibility would push each representative to give great consideration into who should be elected as president. They would scrutinize over their decision, debate the merits of each candidate, and ultimately elect one prudent man to lead the country. In stark contrast, the process of voting in modern day America is treated with less importance than given most mundane tasks. Today, Americans give little thought to whom they will vote for as
With the Electoral College system for electing the United States president winning the most popular votes is not a guarantee a candidate will become president. They must also get 270 Electoral College votes to win. A candidate can become president if he gets at least 270 Electoral College votes and does not have the most popular votes. Many people do not like the Electoral college system for this reason. They feel the person with the most popular votes should win.
Many people may be questioning on what I have to propose with elections coming up in 2018, running for the Republican party has many positive aspects towards Health Care services and providers for the people of every generation. I will succeed with this plan that everyone would enjoy. We want to make a huge change in health care that will help many out and will be affordable for everyone. Being the oldest political party, many citizens would love to hear what we have to offer since we have seen and done everything. Many Republican states, for example Alaska, Idaho and Kansas will vote for our policy proposal because our view is based off of affordable, accessible and high quality health insurance that will promise the Americans the
There is three different types of electing judges. Partisan elections, nonpartisan elections, and Missouri plan. In the following paragraphs I am going to tell you these processes work and why they are like this. I am also going to tell you we have three different types of processes.
While H.B. 1336 is substantially better than the current system, it is not perfect. One shortcoming is that it only applies to the appellate level courts, which means that the majority of judges in the state will still be elected. While this is not ideal, cases decided by these elected judges can be appealed to the appointed courts, which should mitigate the negative influence of elected judges. Also, from a practical standpoint, requiring the nominating commission to review applications for local courts is probably both inefficient and unnecessary. Ideally a second wave of reforms would eventually establish regional nominating commissions and do away with judicial elections entirely, but it makes sense to see how the proposal works on the statewide level before implementing a localized version.
The most important issue in relation to the Canadian electoral process is the debate over whether or not the state should implement electoral reform for federal elections. It is my stance that replacing the Single Member Plurality system (SMP) with the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) is undeniably in the best interest of Canadians, and I will attempt to prove this by contrasting The Limits: Electoral Systems and Electoral Reform - Or How I Came to Love SMP by Christopher Kam, who believes in the current SMP system, and Getting What You Vote For by John Hiemstra, who pushes for a change in favour of the MMP system. This paper will conclude with further critical analysis, as well as my justified stance the MMP system is clearly superior.
It is important to decide at an early stage on the most appropriate teaching method for each candidate, to enable every candidate to achieve their learning goal in the easiest way possible. Some candidates will not respond well to classroom style teaching and may require one to one assistance for them to develop, others may develop their understanding better through demonstration or through explanations given by the tutor.
After the last presidential election, which is still underway apparently, there is much controversy over what should happen to the Electoral College system. There are people who say that the Electoral College is good but should be modified to meet the needs of the modern world. There are those who say that the Electoral College system is too outdated to be modified and should be entirely eliminated. Finally there are those who say that it is has stood the test of time and is still the best system for our country.
Do you have a favorite president? Have you ever voted for president? The United States election process was created in 1787 and went into action in 1789 by the founding fathers (“Presidential Elections”). In the first election, two candidates that ran for office included George Washington and John Adams. Through the original election process, George Washington ended up taking office (“Electoral College”). The election process has changed many times since 1789 to become the current election process. Our election process is fair because the candidates and voters have beneficial requirements, the candidates give a valid preview of their government ideas, and the candidate votes are determined by both the public and experienced politicians.
For decades, Canadians have been defending their right to have a fair and open electoral system. Since its creation in 1867, Canada has been proud to call itself a true democratic country, but today there would be many people who disagree with this statement. The Canadian electoral system, which uses First Past The Post (FPTP), has come under scrutiny for not being as fair as it claims to be. Over the past couple of decades, many countries have switched their system to Proportional Representation (PR) or some form of it. Based on successful results in other nations, Canada’s current FPTP system should change to Mixed Member Proportional (MMP), which is a form of Proportional Representation, as it will allow for more fair elections. The intent of this paper is to outline how an electoral reform from First Past the Post to Proportional Representation or Mixed-Member Proportional, will lead to more confidence in the government, more accurate seat-vote percentage, and better overall representation of the population.
The election process in the United States is a valuable process to the election of the proper officials to satisfy the people. The people run the country which is why we live in freedom because we control what happens with major decisions by choosing whom we want to decide these decisions. The whole country goes to vote on a certain day and by the end of that day we will vote to select who will run the country, state, county, or city political positions. The most complex decision and one with the biggest impact are selecting who the President of the United States shall be. We examine what their views are and who would do a better job. Then vote in our respected states with a certain number of electoral votes
