Welcome to the Upper Merion Area Middle School Wikispace on the 2008 Election
The Upper Merion Area Middle School educates students in grades five through eight. This wikispace was developed and used during the fall of 2008 to organize resources for the many projects our school developed to actively involve our students in the election process. Each grade level developed activities which explored a variety of topics: how government affects our lives, how the election process work, what is the citizen’s role in the election process, how to research and evaluate a candidate, and how the media affects our choices. To view some of these projects and resources, click on the appropriate grade level on the navigational tool bar. At the conclusion of the research, discussion, and assignments about the election process, our entire student body voted in a mock election. Click here to learn more about this mock election.
