Class experience

US Grade 6 - 9
Students will learn history in a way that promotes citizen participation and understanding of current events, for the Electoral College has been playing an important role in recent presidential elections. Students will learn that electors have often been controversial, but their decisions have been accepted without conflict except for the Civil War after the election of 1860. Students will learn about the importance of demographic changes in the 21st century leading to questions about the Electoral College.

The age range for the course is a guideline, not a requirement. I am often asked about younger students that parents believe are ready for the subject matter and time spent in class. In my view, parents know the readiness of their students better than anyone else. 
For information and graphics suitable for young students, I will rely on sites such as the National Archives (https://www.archives.gov/electoral-college/links#teaching), Congressional Research Service, and 270towin.com. Information will also come from textbooks such as the "AMSCO Advanced Placement Edition of United States History" which is used in high school courses -- and I am a grader of the tests for advanced placement courses given through Educational Testing Service.
