About This Lesson
Informed voters make our democracy better, but educating your students with unbiased, civically-minded information has become increasingly difficult. Our curriculum will help you walk your students through the voting process with nonpartisan, fact-focused information. With BallotReady’s teacher-designed curriculum, you will educate your students about the history and process of voting in the United States. Students will consider the importance of various elected offices at all levels of government and determine what issues are most important to them. By the end of this mini-unit, students will engage with our free voter guides. This innovative resource will help them feel informed and confident, whether they are casting their first votes this fall or in future years. BallotReady gives students an engaging and hands-on way to learn about the importance of civic engagement, voting in a democracy, and learning about every candidate on the ballot.
