Animal Elections

We've been learning about America's government during socials studies.  The class had a fun election for a class animal.  They divided into self selected groups and presented a speech, skit, or song about why the animal of their choice should be our class animal.  We had a few good campaign lessons such as not all campaigners are honest.  Student A: Vote for us!  We already have 100 people voting for us.  Student B: Uhh, that's impossible.  There are only 18 kids in our class.
