While the school is suspended, let's keep up with our programme on US politics.
Below are a few videos you should watch with short descriptions of what you'll learn from them.
Tomorrow I'll upload a list of questions that I expect you to be able to answer. You can use the people responsible for the relevant presentations to become your experts.
1. Videos explaining how presidential elections are organised: how the candidates are chosen, how the votes are counted and who wins

2. Videos about how the primaries (the process of selecting the candidates by political parties: Democrats and Republicans) work

3. A video explaining when the president of the US can be impeached and how the process looks and gives some historical examples of impeached presidents

Also, get acquainted with the main candidates who still count in the 2020 Presidential Elections: Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders. Find out what programmes they have, what their views are on social matters, economy, foreign policy and what chances thay have. Use YouTube to find interviews, debates and expert opinions about them.
Donald Trump (the Republican candidate) will be dealt with separately.
