To start, you'll want to make a copy of this Padlet template by clicking "remake" in the upper righthand corner and checking both the "copy design" and "copy posts" boxes. You'll then use the first column ("My understanding before reading") to record your current knowledge and ideas about voting, voter suppression, and vote by mail. Then, as you complete a new reading each week, add to the "new ideas and examples" column for that text. There is no set number of required new ideas or examples to add each week and some texts might present you with more new information than others. The goal is to thoughtfully and thoroughly engage with the material each week and to use these notes to see how your knowledge and ideas evolve as you work through the texts. You'll refer back to these notes at the end of the unit as you work on your mid-semester reflection. en-us 2020-12-18 22:21:39 UTC 2025-11-11 00:45:54 UTC hello@padlet.com stephaniehernandez2301 https://padlet.com/stephaniehernandez2301/6v8hm0ltqgizbrur/wish/1032781654 Coming from a family that are immigrants, voting was never a topic I was introduced to. We wouldn't talk about politics because my parents did not speak english therefore they weren't aware of what was going on. Until I entered high school I was aware of voting and how important it is. In high school I pre-registered to vote. This year was my first time to vote. I believe it was easier for me to vote by mail because I had access of my computer to do my research.

There has been searches that this does not apply to the parties nor the people. Voting in mail it is not a habit that people have. Usually they go to the walk to a poll place and make your vote. ]]> 2020-12-18 22:21:39 UTC https://padlet.com/stephaniehernandez2301/6v8hm0ltqgizbrur/wish/1032781660 stephaniehernandez2301 https://padlet.com/stephaniehernandez2301/6v8hm0ltqgizbrur/wish/1032781662 My revised and understanding of these 4 weeks f reading have expanded in a way that I am aware about more things school did not quite teach such as the suppression explained in deeper details. ]]> 2020-12-18 22:21:39 UTC https://padlet.com/stephaniehernandez2301/6v8hm0ltqgizbrur/wish/1032781662
