The "Teach Democracy" website, formerly known as the Constitutional Rights Foundation, provides educators with free, high-quality resources to teach students about democracy, civic engagement, and the foundations of government. The site features a wide range of lesson plans, activities, and multimedia materials tailored for grades K-12, covering topics like constitutional principles, the role of government, and active citizenship. With an emphasis on critical thinking and student participation, resources include simulations, discussion prompts, and case studies that help students connect democratic principles to real-world issues. The videos are hosted on YouTube. If your district blocks YouTube, then they may not be viewable.
This site includes advertising.

tag(s): bill of rights (31), constitution (93), democracy (23), multimedia (51)

In the Classroom

Encourage students to design a civic action plan addressing a community issue. Using resources from the website, they identify the problem, research potential solutions, and present their ideas in a persuasive format, such as a letter to local leaders or a digital presentation. Organize a class debate on a modern civic issue, such as social media regulation, connecting it to democracy and rights. Use case studies and prompts from the website to provide a framework. Use the "Primary Source Analysis Tool" provided on the website. Students can analyze documents, speeches, or videos such as FDR's 1941 speech. Guide them through questions about the source's purpose, context, and historical significance. Use the "People v. Croddy" mock trial from the website, which incorporates a fictional YouTuber and a real-world legal scenario. Assign students roles as attorneys, witnesses, and jurors, and conduct a trial in class to explore topics like justice, evidence, and decision-making.

In the Classroom

Take advantage of these free lesson plans and classroom activities hosted by Yale. Though the site is a little "vanilla" there is a lot of good content and lesson plan ideas. Keep in mind that some of the content may be over some students heads, so make sure to alter it to your specific classroom as need be.
