FEED FOR THOUGHT: ELECTION EDITION
Through Feed for Thought: Election Edition, students experience the relationship between the information we consume and the decisions we make. Before participating in a mock local election, students learn about the candidates and issues from one of two polarized social media feeds. Afterwards, students discuss how what they read may have influenced their vote. It’s only after casting their ballots when they realize they did not all see the same information.
If you are unable to access Feed for Thought: Election Edition online, PDF versions of the feeds are available. You can use Feed A and Feed B.
