Your Voice, Your Vote: A Lesson with Website Resources
Mathys, Lori; Bennett, Linda
Social Studies and the Young Learner, v19 n1 p32, 27 Sep-Oct 2006
This article describes several websites that can be used to encourage students to vote. These include "The Democracy Project: Inside the Voting Booth" sponsored by PBS. This site addresses three elementary topics: how one vote has made a difference in U.S. history, how the right to vote has gradually been expanded to include minorities (African Americans, women, Native Americans, and young Americans 18 years of age), and how one might vote on issues (a simulated ballot allows students to select their positions on some current issues). (Contains 7 notes.)
