Election 2004
United States Elections Theme Unit

A note from the edHelper team on using this unit:
The main objective of this unit is to introduce issues that are important to both this election and most probably will continue to be important after the election. Our team has done everything possible to try to present all sides of issues, but more importantly we leave it to the students in the writing prompts to explore the issues.
We urge teachers and parents to please evaluate the materials first before using them. While we hope you will find the majority of what we've done to be useful, we realize that some issues are included in this unit that you may not want to discuss. Your comments on how to improve this unit are always welcome!
