Two More Election Resources

Okay, so I was wrong in my last post when I said that it could be my last post about the 2008 Election. Well, I just found two more resources worth sharing with readers.

MSNBC has a quiz about the race for the White House. The 30 question quiz requires players to think back to the beginning of the primary season to recall the events that have transpired over the last ten months.

Also from MSNBC is the widget embedded below. The widget will track the election results and display the results on a map as they trickle in.

Applications for Education
The quiz and the map can both be useful in the classroom tomorrow. The quiz is a good way to start a conversation about the electoral process. The quiz is also a good vehicle for making students look back at the last year, kind of a modern history project. The map is a useful tool for discussing with students why some parts of the country or some states voted for one candidate or other.
