The American Election
About the unit plan
Who will win the next American presidential election? And how does the system work? The American election system is quite different from the Danish one, and some even consider it less democratic.
In this unit plan, you will read about the electoral college, the two-party system and political campaigning. You will also research the American presidential candidates, discuss their campaigning and make your own predictions for the 2016 election.
