Lesson Plans - 4th Grade

Election Day

• Students will be able to explain the history and significance of Election Day.

• Students will express their opinion about the importance of voting.

Citizenship City

This lesson begins a process of helping students visualize their town’s government as a very important part of their everyday existence—a part that they can influence.

Why Vote? A Public Awareness Campaign

Students will learn that towns include people whose jobs contribute to the quality of community life. Students will use the online activity “How Does Government Affect Me?” as a springboard to discuss the importance of voting. The lesson will culminate with the creation of “Please Vote” bookmarks, a public awareness campaign.

To Vote Or Not To Vote

Students will gain a historical understanding of voting rights in America through an online game, “Inside The Voting Booth.” Students will then examine the contemporary problem of low voter turnout. Through surveys and research, students will pinpoint causes and propose solutions to increase vote participation.

Election Results Map

Students create maps with a color key showing election night returns.
