For a
democracy to maintain its viability, its
citizens must be educated, concerned and active.
With these lesson plans students explore how
education, volunteerism and diversity make our
country great.
- Coming To America - Every
year hundreds of thousands of people leave their
native homes, their extended families, and their
native lands to come to America. With this
lesson plan, students gain a better appreciation
of the role that immigrants play in our country.
- Help Anyone? - John F.
Kennedy said, "Ask not what your country can do
for you, ask what you can do for your country."
Too often we’re concerned with what we can get
and not what we can give. With this lesson plan,
students explore the idea that volunteerism (at
home, at school or in the community) plays a
vital role in keeping our nation safe, free, and
prosperous.
- Citizenship: Mind Mapping -
Many consider citizenship in our country a
privilege. Many have died for that privilege.
Through this mind-mapping exercise, students
gain a better understanding of the meaning of
citizenship and their role in helping to protect
our democratic freedoms.
- Gratitude Attitude - For
our democratic system of government to thrive,
we need an educated citizenry. With this lesson
plan, students explore the benefits of living in
a democratic society where public education is
the right and privilege of all. Students are
reminded that people risk their lives every day
trying to come to America so their children can
receive the same education they are receiving.
- What Will I Do This Summer? (2
parts) - Volunteerism plays an
essential role in our democracy. As summer
vacation approaches, it's important to remind
students of the value of serving others as a
constructive use of their extra time over the
summer months.
