# Politics & civics

Run a debate and compare votes before and after the speeches. The projector traces who stayed, who crossed and who remained undecided, using counts rather than names. The final majority and the side that moved the room can be different.

Or keep the voters fixed and change the boundaries: students draw electoral districts on the same fictional town, then compare which parties win seats. Use the room’s own maps to discuss representation, fairness and who should draw the lines.
