Election... It's a Dirty Word and Classroom Topic

Ebony McKiver

I was having a brief conversation with my friend,  , and she brought up an extremely important point. Many of us may be World History educators, but students still walk into our classrooms with questions about the election. We have a live event coming up about civil discourse, but I must ask you all....

How are you handling student questions about the election and all the stuff swirling around it? Bonus points if you link resources, videos, or materials. I know tons of teachers are struggling to find balance, especially going into this last month before the election, and I would like to help ease their minds with sound instructional practices.

    We are pretty much banned from talking politics in school but if i student says something I often say, "Why do you say that?  What's your source or evidence?"   and if they have one I try to get them to find the counter point.   It leads to some intelligent conversations and I try to get them to see both sides.
