anything out.” One of those lessons dealt with the long struggle toward universal suffrage, starting with that first presidential election and leading up to passage of the 19th Amendment. Students were given note cards with information about each historic event that occurred along the way and worked in groups to sort the cards in sequential order to form a time line. The activity is designed to give students a physical and visual sense of how long the struggle has gone on. It’s also meant to help them appreciate how valuable the right to vote is so that, it’s hoped, they will commit to exercising
that right when they become eligible voters. The project will culminate on Election Day when students in grades K-12 are encouraged to go with their parents or other adult to official polling places. There, they’ll have the chance to cast age-appropriate Kids Voting ballots that will be tabulated by local volunteers organizing the project Lovett said the Kids Voting classroom cur-
