EXTRA CREDIT for Trimester 1 – 10 points
The election is here today! Want some extra credit points? Do some work!
Go to this link and read about the electoral college:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/studentnews/07/22/one.sheet.electoral.college/index.html
Then complete the form at this link:
http://illuminations.nctm.org/Lessons/ElectoralCollege/WhyCalifornia-AS.pdf
Once you have completed that form, color each state on the 50 states map (red for McCain winning, blue for Obama winning) and then write the total electoral votes for each candidate on the map.
THIS IS DUE ON 11/10/08!
Easy 10 points!!!

What if Missouri stays undecided until after we turn in the extra credit?

1. comments were deleted because there are rules for this blog.
2. if missouri is still undecided, do not count their electoral votes.
thanks
