Resources span grade levels, including elementary, middle, and high school voting lesson plans, making it easy to adapt instruction for different learners.
The collection also includes materials that encourage critical thinking about elections today, student voice, and civic engagement. Whether you are looking for a voting lesson plan, an election lesson plan, or historical context on voting rights in America, these resources help students build knowledge, ask informed questions, and understand their role in a democratic society.
