Republican and Democrat ideas USA

This is a resource for students startijg the study of the USA. Students are invited to explain what the parties believe in via a serioes of pictures. they can then write definitions.
Students then look at policies more carefully. They decide which are for eaach party. It can be done as a cut and stick, highlighting ar card sort activity. I prefer a card sort as it allows a ‘not sure’ pile initially.
Students can idenitfy economic, social and other policies. Less able ones have a differentiated resource. there are extension questions at the bottom of each.
This can lead to a debate, either straight away or following more extensive research as homeowrk or ICT facilities in lesson.
