- This resource is a lesson plan that helps students gain a better understanding of the two major political parties. Students learn the content through direct instruction and then apply the information by creating a video that highlights views on controversial issues. The lesson includes a google presentation that has an overview of the parties and an introduction to the project. It also has the list of issues that are divided amongst the student groups. It is recommended that instructors provide additional sources on the political parties and an example video to demonstrate clear expectations for the project. The lesson uses information from the 2008 election, and teachers may want to update to the 2012 election.
