This document outlines a unit plan for a 12th grade class to learn about the two major US political parties. The class has 22 students, including two with ADHD and one gifted student. Over the course of a week, students will be introduced to how each party formed and their beliefs. They will take an online survey to identify their own party, have discussions, take a quiz, and participate in a debate on why their chosen party is better. Technology like PowerPoints, online research, and a Smartboard Jeopardy game will enhance the learning experience.
