Break-out Title/Topic: Six Ingredients of Democracy, Elections and Voting Resources Time
Check-in: (A quick, community building activity)
I will ask students for their highs and lows of the week; it’s pretty standard but is
always a good way to get a gauge of where they are mentally and emotionally.

Introduction: (what information do mentees need from me before activity?)
Before we get into the main activity, I will be going over the upcoming introduction
assignment again just to make sure everyone is on the same page and remind them
to get started on it. Also, I will quickly go over the six ingredients of democracy.

Activity: (How will I get my mentees involved in this break-out?)
I will be creating an online Jeopardy game based off the last two chapters the
students have covered, Elections and Political Parties. It will be a great way to test
their knowledge, especially since there is no final exam. I will be splitting the
students into two teams and they will be able to answer questions in a fun,
competitive environment.
