Overview
Our lesson plans will create opportunities for students to engage in civic discourse around issues of democracy in the United States.
Elementary school materials are standalone lessons with scaffolded writing prompts. Middle and high school units are modeled after the College, Career and Civic Life (C3) Inquiry Framework. The middle and high school inquiry units challenge students to work collaboratively in making connections between the past and present. Every lesson, across grade levels, includes developmentally appropriate discussion questions around lesson topics. They include culminating civic engagement activities for students.
“A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
