Social studies teachers! Did you know we have 140+ lessons with @iCivics? 💻 With elections around the corner, help your students dive into the history, mechanics, and current events of voting. Use case studies and real-world examples to apply civics knowledge in their own communities. 📜💬 🔗 bit.ly/481k50k #ElectionDay #Election2024 #Vote
