Reflections:
already made posters for the school, and developed all the promises
for changes in the classroom. Now, you need to convince your voters
that you are the best choice for the job! Here’s what you need to do…
Slideshow Steps
1) Open Google Slides on a Chromebook, and share the document with your partner.
3) You will need to create 3-4 slides, which should resemble the following:
a) The first slide with your name and what you are running for. You MAY include a
b) A slide explaining who you are. This could include your hobbies, some things
you like, and what made you run for the position. Don’t say “because my friend
said so”. Provide a positive reason for why you wanted to run.
c) A slide explaining what your promises are. What do you promise to add or
change to the classroom? Why do you think it will benefit the class? A promise is
a promise, and it must be fulfilled if you get elected. Don’t make a promise you
can’t keep!
The 4th slide is an OPTION. This slide can be used if you ran out of room for your promises or
your “all about you” slide. It can also be something else entirely. Maybe you want to add a
simple ‘Vote for Me on Voting Day!” at the end in bold letters. But it is also NOT required.
What you need to do/include
- A title for your slideshow, which includes the name of the person running
- Candidate name
- Hobbies
- Interests
- What you wish to change or add to the class (aka your promises)
- Why you feel these changes would make the class a better place
