MissAGallagher https://padlet.com/MissAGallagher/4yjkjn5on5hv/wish/32606816 Imagine you are presenting at the school assembly next week on the upcoming elections. You will need to create an informative, clear and enjoyable powerpoint presentation to your fellow students teaching them all about what happens on election day and why it matters to them.

In your presentation you must include the following criteria...

  • Where you vote
  • When to vote
  • How many votes you get and who for
  • Why it is important to vote (the youtube video links may be helpful for this)
  • 2014 election priorities that you think are particularly relevant to someone your age

The links on this page will help direct you to find all the information you need.

At the end of your presentation do you think your audience will understand the importance of voting when they turn 18?

Once you have finished this task you may complete a voting quiz, either 'On The Fence' or 'Vote Compass' to find out what political parties match your opinions. These are at the bottom of this padlet page if you keep scrolling down.
