Active Participation in Government Lesson Plan
This comprehensive lesson plans explains the roles of citizens in the United States government and how they can exercise their Constitutional rights and responsibilities.
The lesson focuses on the creation of student made skits that portray a right that citizens of the United States have. These are rights/responsibilities that all citizens posses in the United States (ex. voting, being fiscally responsible, providing a public service, serving on juries, etc.)
The lesson includes a very detailed step by step plan on how to implement the lesson, learning goals and objectives, assessments, time management suggestions, materials needed, and standards.
The lesson plan also includes a separate response document that students should complete at the conclusion of the lesson to show understanding of the material.
This lesson plan was created using the Ohio Content Standards for High School Government. These standards are very similar to many other standards in other states and areas.
