Ms. Chapman’s class created their own third party. Selecting a name, slogan, and party platform. They designed yard signs and an electronic advertisement. They had to petition to get their party on the ballot. Then they had to present the party to the class with a speech & held an election. Then they received their “I voted sticker” 🇺🇸
