How to Teach about "Aligning Elections" Using the Internet
Risinger, C. Frederick
Social Education, v71 n6 p292-294 Oct 2007
In this article, the author lists some websites that will both help teachers teach about the concept of realigning elections and help students learn about the concept and follow the news and primary returns to evaluate it. The list is divided into three groups: (1) one dealing with the election realignment concept; (2) a few sites that will help students review the five realigning elections; and (3) sites that will help students and teachers review news, election polls and returns, and lesson plan ideas for both elementary and secondary teachers. (Contains 1 table.)
