Trump's victory in the 2024 Presidential Election

(0)
This lesson gives an overview of Trump’s victory in the 2024 Presidential Election, takes a brief look at his foreign policy, and includes a global impacts simulation group activity. PDF version of a presentation I made on Canva, a comprehension made on Diffit included, and teacher notes included. I encourage students to share their knowledge on Trump, the US elections, and his stance on foreign policy throughout the lesson. I use the presentation to introduce Trump’s victory. I then use the map to explain how he stormed to victory as well as how the electoral college vote works. After, I introduce the term ‘foreign policy’ - explaining what it is and introducing three main aspects of Trump’s foreign policy. Following on from that, to introduce the group activity, I ask the students to share their thoughts and opinions on how Trump’s foreign policy might impact global relations and events. I give a brief overview of the potential impacts of his policy on the EU, Ukraine, and Palestine (teacher notes attached if required). To facilitate the global impact simulation, divide the class into 5 groups and assign one country or region (the EU) to each group. Every group will need a show-me board, whiteboard marker, and sponge to wipe. Allow them 10-15 minutes to analyse the potential impacts of Trump’s foreign policy on their assigned region. Each group must then present their work to the class. The lesson can be concluded with a walking debate or general discussion, using the debate prompts at the end of the comprehension or points that have come up during the lesson.
