BOE: Bottom of EmailDear John,


Do you incorporate current events in your curriculum? If so, we encourage you to share our
[link removed]
Think the Vote debate platform with your students.


Every two weeks during the school year, we share a debate question related to a recent news story. Whenever possible, we select topics that tie into constitutional principles and support civics and government teachers by emphasizing the contemporary relevance of your curriculum.


Our content team curates the students' comments and shares those on the
[link removed]
Think the Vote page , so your students can see what their peers around the nation are saying and engage in thoughtful, civil online debate.


After two weeks, we select a student from each side of the debate who made the strongest argument, and reward them and their teachers with a gift card and swag!


We are always looking for new topics and stories to address, so please
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Think%20the%20Vote%20Suggestions
reach out with your suggestions and encourage your students to join the debate!
Warmly,

Laura Vlk
