This article will also help students better understand what is meant by “balance of power.” The second link offers students an opportunity to explorer the election process in the United States with an interactive link maintained by the Library of Congress.

- Since it is difficult to use 2.0 apps like Twitter for elementary students, I opted to link to a couple of YouTube clips that engage my audience of 5th grade students. The first video is a funny rap song that most students would enjoy and the second video is a short presentation on the subject matter made simple for young audiences. Teachers could use these videos as a springboard to challenge students to come up with their own songs or skits that demonstrate their knowledge of the topic.
