But why do we vote?  Who gets to vote?  What should we know before we vote?

You will find the answer to these questions and much more when you visit these sites...
Voting
The Democracy Project

Once you are done reading this background information we are going to hold a class vote so you can see first hand how the voting process works.

Mission...
We know that there is always two sides to every story.  But who is telling the truth?


We are going to read 2 stories.  Each shares the characters' points of view. 

• First we will read the original story of The Three Little Pigs to get their side of the story. 
  
• Then we are going to read The True Story of the Three Little Pigs: By A. Wolf to get the wolf's side of the story.

After the stories are read, you are going to cast your vote for the one that you believe.

1. Illustrate a picture of who you are voting for
2. Place your ballot in the ballot box
3. Be sure to pick up your I voted sticker
   
4. When the voting is complete, I will count the ballots to see who has one.

Now, come up to the carpet to hear the stories... and let the voting process begin!
