Why Vote? Lesson Plan

Students will understand the role of voting in society and its direct impact on their lives. They will be able to express reasons why voting is important and identify how they can be active citizens.

This lesson is crucial because it connects the democratic process to personal experience, making abstract civic ideas tangible and empowering students—especially those on IEPs—to engage with their community.
