About This Lesson
We teach students about our political system as we prepare them to become voters, but do we provide adequate information about how our economic system ties in with our electoral system? Many voters claim the economy is their top issue; let's show our students how to connect the dots between their economic priorities and their electoral choices. This series of lessons will provide the basic economic literacy your students should possess to become informed voters.
