As historians in Room #209, we studied local and national government, including what it takes to be a good citizen, the three branches of government, taxes, and the election process. To culminate our study, students participated in a class election. Each student was given the opportunity to run for class president, work as a campaign worker for one of the candidates, or act as a poll worker (registering students to vote). The students had an awesome time with it and after a close vote, Taylor Gahagan was voted Room #209 Class President. Below are some pictures of the candidates making their final campaign speeches while their campaign workers hold up the signs they created.

Historians in Room #209 have been learning about the branches of government (Legislative, Executive and Judicial). To be active participants in our learning, the students worked collaboratively to build Government trees to separate the powers of each branch and which people/groups make up each branch.
