Synopsis

This workbook for high school students explores the hot button topics of the 2024 Presidential election in America. Students read an essay about each topic, inserting the missing vocabulary words (using context clues). I provide three views: a conservative view, a progressive view, and a unity view on elements that both sides agree on. I am intentionally non-partisan, choosing to be descriptive and respectful of each viewpoint to these controversial issues. This material will help your students understand “the other side” and not demonize people who view things differently. Here are the 28 topics:

  • Jobs and Unemployment in America

  • The Economy and Inflation in America

  • Income Tax and Government Spending in America

  • Immigration and the Border in America

  • Crime and Public Safety in America

  • Education and Childcare in America

  • Higher Education and Student Loan Debt in America

  • Health Care and Hospital Debt in America

  • Housing and Homelessness in America

  • Energy and the Climate in America

  • Diversity and Inclusion in America

  • Election Integrity And Interference in America

  • Spending and the National Debt in America

  • The Rich and the Poor in America
