1 Teacher Notes Activity at a Glance Subject: Social Studies Subject Area: American Government Category: The Constitution Topic: The Electoral College The Electoral College Activity 3 Electoral College and Political Strategy Grade Level: Prerequisites: Students need to be able to create a line graph charting two different variables. Total Teaching Time: 45 minutes Materials TI-83 Plus or TI-83 Plus Silver Edition CellSheet Application CellSheet File: STATES.8xv (completed) Student Work Sheet: Campaign Strategy Guidelines, Campaign Strategy Summary Sheet Internet Access for student research Activity Overview In this activity, students will work as teams of political strategists for either a Democratic or Republican presidential candidate in the 2004 election. Their job will be to devise a campaign strategy that will help their candidate win the electoral college vote by the most efficient means possible, focusing on states that will be projected winners for their party. Directions Before the Activity Begins 1. Review the total number of electoral votes (538), and the number needed to win the presidency (270). 2. Discuss with the students the complexities of organizing a presidential campaign, and in particular, the need to have a focused strategy to campaign in the most efficient way.
2 18 American Government The Electoral College 3. If each student does not have a completed STATES.8xv file, then provide the file for the students. This file contains the party of the winner of each state in the last 10 presidential elections. During the Activity 1. Pass out the Campaign Strategy Guidelines sheet and discuss the rules for developing a winning strategy: a. Your candidate must win enough states to garner the necessary 270 b. You cannot target a state in which there is not a significant trend (7 out of 10 or better) for your political party. c. You must target the fewest states possible to achieve the necessary Go through the process of creating a line graph for an individual state s voting results over the last ten presidential elections. 3. Pass out the Campaign Strategy Summary Sheet. 4. Point students to the Electoral College calculator, found at to help them identify an efficient campaign strategy for their candidate. Tell the students that this might help them quickly determine if they have enough votes to win. 5. Allow students to work in their groups to develop their strategy and fill out their Campaign Strategy Summary Sheet. This sheet will be submitted by the students. After the Activity 1. Ask groups from each party who had the fewest states to win. 2. Once students turn in their Campaign Strategy Summary Sheet, discuss the different approaches groups employed in developing their strategies. 3. Discuss how this approach would be both practical and impractical in a presidential election. 4. Discuss whether or not they feel that employing this type of strategy of focusing on electoral votes instead of popular votes is either smart politics or subverting the will of the majority of citizens in an election. 5. Each student should write a brief position statement addressing the question above.
