In this lesson plan, each student must decide which political party he/she will join or whether to register as an independent.

The political parties for analysis are: Democratic; Republican; Green; Libertarian; Natural Law; Reform; and Socialist. Students are provided with detailed instructions, online resources, and reflection questions. The teacher's notes describe the unit's purpose, explain the application of history/social science standards, and suggest teaching strategies. (BT)
