Would voter turnout increase if 16 year olds got the vote?
For the starter I showed them a graph of voter turnout and we discussed reasons turnout has gone down (I have a worksheet but I can't find it!).
After doing the activities on the powerpoint, I used a video clip from the BBC's '16- Too Young to Vote' to get them thinking. Then I gave them all a speech bubble and we had a class discussion about whether 16 was too young to vote.
The plenary I used for all students in one group, some found it a bit challenging. Plenary 2 could be used for SEN students instead.
Something went wrong, please try again later.
