This comprehensive overview of US politics will help your students understand what is at stake for the 2024 presidential election. The themes tackled are the foundations of US democracy and historical threats to its functioning, the electoral college, voter suppression, money politics, the Supreme Court, the storming of the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, political polarization, media bias, and expanding presidential power. There is a worksheet to accompany the text.

This worksheet will help learners ask and answer questions about the vice- presidential candidates, their backgrounds, families and their political agendas. I have prepared a detailed grammar and culture sheet so that you can share essential information and provide scaffolding on the board as you go along. It is fully editable so that you can tailor the handout to the needs of your students.
