Twelve lesson plans form a unit on voter education for high school students. Objectives for the unit are that students will register and vote in upcoming elections, participate in election campaigns, and increase their knowledge of the political system. Topics of the lesson plans, which are designed to cover a 12-week period, include the following: candidates and issues; political party structure; political decision making; voter behavior, rights, and procedures; simulated elections; campaign involvement; and the importance of voting. Students role-play city council members and legislators, examine special interests of organized groups, establish an election information and issue analysis center, research the media's role in elections, and examine how party platforms evolve and compromises are made. Students also research the nominating procedures for national political parties, election laws, and national and local election results. Each lesson plan provides objectives, activities, discussion questions, and resources. (KC)
