Mock Election at PGHS
Pottsgrove High School Library held a Presidential Mock Election for all students on Monday, November 7. Over the past few weeks, the Pottsgrove Library in collaboration with the History Department has been preparing for this event. This 2016 Mock Election aims to engage students to think critically about civics, democracy and our nation’s political process. It is our hope that through the curriculum and the mock election experience, students will be encouraged and inspired to become active participants in our American democracy.
Danielle Small, Library Media Specialist said, “the students had one month to “register” to vote in this election, and have watched 5 videos in 5 days which informed and introduced them to topics such as Healthcare, Gun Control, College Tuition, World Trade Affairs, and the War on Terrorism.” 604 Pottsgrove students voluntarily registered to vote. 15 of those students helped and read scripts about the Republican, Democratic, and Independent parties’ viewpoints on the five topics helping the other students to discover which party they truly relate to.
