Description
Students will learn the principles of parliamentary procedure and apply them in a mock hearing on the issue of whether to lower the voting age. By actively participating in the debate and voting process, students will grasp the mechanics of formal meeting conduct and develop critical thinking and public speaking skills.
This resource includes:
• Lesson Plan: Detailed instructions for educators to facilitate the session, including timelines and role assignments.
• Vocabulary Worksheet: A fill-in-the-blank activity to familiarize students with the key terminology used in parliamentary debates, complete with an answer key.
• Student Script: A step-by-step guide to help students navigate the process of making motions, debating, and voting—tailored to involve them directly in the learning experience.
• Argument List: A balanced compilation of points in favor of and against the resolution to lower the voting age, providing a foundation for students to build upon and explore further.
Differentiation: This resource allows flexibility in classroom implementation. Teachers can distribute the pre-prepared argument list or encourage students to conduct research independently, adapting the difficulty level to the student’s capabilities.
