    The instructional software "iCivics: Win the White House" is a simulation game that teaches students about the U.S. election process. It motivates students and addresses social studies standards on local, state, and national elections. The software would be implemented by reserving a computer lab for a class period, where students would each run a simulation of the game to understand campaigning and how election results are determined. Afterwards, the class would discuss their experiences and how it relates to real elections.

    Description of how to implement in the class: Students would need to be in a computer lab for
    this activity. I would reserve a spot in the computer lab for an entire class period for the students.
    Students would be told the basics of the game and would then have the entire class period to run at
    least one simulation of the game to gain an understanding of our election process. The class could
    then have a class discussion regarding the results and the election process, including how this
    applies to the 2016 election; this discussion could help students understand the election which just
    concluded.
    * Examples of common instructional models include whole group, teacher-led, student self-paced, small
    group, or individual learning activities. Use as many of these descriptors or other descriptors as apply.
