Writing and Speaking about the Importance of Voting: Why Vote?
Description
In this unit, students will be introduced to their performance task for this module, a Public Service Announcement (PSA) about the importance of voting. This unit connects students’ study of the Women’s Suffrage Movement in Units 1 and 2 to voting in the present day, specifically the issue of low voter turnout among young adults. Students will take their own steps towards being a “leader of change” and “making a difference” by creating a PSA with the purpose of educating young people about the importance of voting.
