eLECTIONS Your Adventure in Politics

This is a one or two player educational game where students role-play their own virtual candidates running for President.   In the game students see, read, hear and interact with multimedia content from CNN Student News, C-SPAN and History. Students have the ability to save a game and play later, look at a report card to see how well they played, and have the ability to print out all their choices to analyze their strategy.   The site has a teacher section with learning guides, correlation to state social studies standards and a preview area of the videos included in the game so that teachers can generate lesson plans.  Requires shockwave player.

students definitely need teacher guidance when playing as there is a lot of content there and without explanation from the teacher most of it will be above the students knowledge level. I would recommend using the teachers resources and having the game as a culminating activity at the end of the unit.
