Students trace the alphabet letters and election words and then write them. Teachers can have older students define them as well.

Keeping a dictionary is a wonderful way to build vocabulary and categorize specific words that go with a large theme, that students will be reading, and studying about, like the election.

Encourage students to use these words in their writing. Add these words to a separate election portion of your word wall.

I've made word wall word flashcards for all of these words + a patriotic election header card for your word wall, if you'd like to post them. Click on the link to view/download Election Word Wall Word Flashcards.

I've included a certificate of praise when students have completed their Election Dictionary. What a nice booklet your students will have at the end of November to take home and share with their families.
