Constitutional Rights Foundation Lesson Plans - Teach Democracy
Grades
K to 12
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.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.
