Media Literacy, Voting Rights, and More (iCivics)
A high school unit of study from iCivics, "News Literacy," has five lessons to help students develop the skills they need to recognize bias, misinformation, opinion, satire, and more. "It's a media jungle out there, so let iCivics help you help your students navigate it." Visit https://www.icivics.org/b2s/upyourgame.html
iCivics "Teach Local" resources allow students to explore the day-to-day impact of local government on their lives. Check out our Teach Local games, new lessons and units, at https://www.icivics.org/static/TeachLocal.html.
At the iCivics website, students can also explore the evolution of voting rights in the Unites States through an interactive PowerPoint presentation highlighting landmark changes. After that, hold a debate over whether the voting age should be lowered yet again for 16 year-olds to participate. See the Voting Age Drafting Board activity.
