Anticipatory Set
Students will be broken into their campaign groups (four groups of six). Each group will
be given a chart with Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Gary Johnson, and Jill Stein at the
top. They will also be given fact flashcards that are associated with one of the four 2016
presidential nominees. Groups will be given five minutes to sort each of the flashcards
under the appropriate candidate. During this time the teacher will be walking around the
classroom to assess students prior knowledge. After five minutes, the class will come
together to check each other's charts and identify the correct information associated with
each candidate. By the end of this activity students will be have some essential
knowledge about the candidates.
Procedures
1. Together the class will create a list of political issues on the board. This list will consist
of issues that the students may know about or may have just heard of before, that are big
discussion topics, especially during presidential elections. At this time the teacher will
assess the knowledge of the class about political issues and defining them. The teach will
take this opportunity to define and provide examples for any of the political issues that
students are unfamiliar with. Top issues to ensure that students have knowledge of
include: Economy, healthcare, gun policy, immigration, education, and climate change. If
students are struggling or not volunteering to provide examples, they will be given a few
moments to talk with their campaign group to try to create their own initial list to
contribute to the class.
2. Students will work in their four campaign groups. Each group will be assigned one
2016 presidential nominee to research (Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Gary Johnson, or
Jill Stein). A flashcard with the candidates name will be given to each group to remind
the students and to identify themselves to other members of the classroom. Each group
will be given Political Issues Charts, for note taking, with Education and Health Care
as the first two issues that the groups will research on their specified nominee. The group
will then collaboratively pick a third issue that is most important or most interesting to
them. Each group will then divide the three issues up and will work in pairs to find the
most relevant information on the position of their nominee, on their particular issue.
Students will each have a computer and will use
[Link] as their source. To support students
that struggle when conducting research, the teacher will introduce the website to the
whole class and show the students how to find the information they need on that
particular website. On your computers type in
[Link] in the address bar. Here you will
find a lot of information and interesting facts about the 2016 presidential election. Feel
free to explore. Scroll down a little until you see the pictures of the four candidates. You
can click on each individual candidate to learn more about them and to find out their
positions on specific political issues. If my given candidate was Hillary Clinton, for
example, I would click on her to find my information. After clicking on a candidate and
reading a little about them, scroll down until you see pictures and identified political
issues. Find the political issues that you need to research (education and healthcare) to
find information on your candidate's position and to determine whether or not you
support that particular candidate. This website will also help your group to select a third
political issue. Scroll through the options and pick one that is interesting to you or that
you find to be very important. I believe foreign affairs is an important issue, therefore, I
would click on the foreign affairs link and scan the page for relevant information on my
candidates position. You may select an issue that was already talked about in class or a
different one. To get started, look for information on each issue that explains certain
goals your candidate has, or certain things that your candidate wants to change. The
teacher will be walking around the room during this process to check on student progress,
assess students understanding, and assist where support is needed. The pairs will then
come back together as a group to compare positions on the issue of their candidate. The
group will together create a big poster chart, using the research they found, to create a
visual when presenting the information to the rest of the class. This information will
include details about the position of their candidate as well as whether or not the group
supports the candidate. By the end of this portion of the procedure students will be able to
identify essential information about candidates, recognize what is important to them
individually and make informed decisions, as a voter, about what is in the best interest of
himself or herself and everyone in the country.
3. Prior to starting the class discussion the students will be shown two videos: One of a
debate with respectful and appropriate behavior, and one with disrespectful and
inappropriate behavior. The students will make notes of the differences in their
notebooks. Based on the videos the class will create a chart as a resource and reminder of
ways to be appropriate during political discussions. If students are struggling to make a
class list, they will have the opportunity to collaborate with their group first. This activity
will assist students in learning how to behave appropriately when discussing political
issues. The teacher will formatively assess the students based on their ability to create the
chart and their behavior displayed in procedure four.
4. Groups will come together as a class and discuss their candidates positions. Each
group will have the opportunity to present information, express their positions, and
respectfully agree or disagree with others. Each student will be provided with a
Comparing Candidates Chart for note taking purposes during the debate. The purpose of
this chart is to assist students when completing their assessment. The teacher will provide
a quick think-aloud to demonstrate the note taking process. As the Hillary Clinton group
is presenting they state that she was opposed to connecting teacher pay to test outcomes.
I agree with her position; therefore, I might write this in the box next to Hillary
Clinton and under Education and put an A for agree. The Hillary Clinton group
might also have stated that for healthcare, she wants to legalize prescription drug
imports from Canada. I disagree with this position, therefore I will write that fact and put
a D for disagree. You may choose to take notes this way, or you may choose to take
notes in other ways. You can do whatever works best for you. Remember that the point of
this note taking sheet is to gather your thoughts for each candidates position on the
political issues and form your own opinion of which sides would be more beneficial to
you as well as the whole country. Based on your gathered information and your opinion,
you will also be asked to identify who you would vote for from the 2016 presidential
election and provide supporting details. For students that may struggle to take notes, a
completed Comparing Candidates Chart will be provided, in which they must circle or
highlight the most important information or the information that they agree or disagree
with. Students will be assessed on behaving appropriately when discussing political
issues during this activity, using the Classroom Discussion Checklist.
Differentiated Instruction
Procedure 2: The teacher will use the projector and computer to introduce the selected
website ([Link] and show students how to
find the necessary information. Students that need more support when doing research will
be given more prompting questions to guide them in finding the most relevant
information. These questions include: What are the goals of the candidate? What does the
candidate want to change? What does the candidate agree or disagree with? Why does the
candidate believe that their particular opinion would benefit the greater good?
Procedure 2: Students who pose strengths in this research will be asked to explore an
additional political issue that they are unfamiliar with using the given website or using
other resources. This will allow the student to explore other sources of information and to
expand their knowledge on an important political issue.
Procedure 4: Students that are in need of additional support in note taking will be given a
Comparing Candidates Chart with notes already on it and be asked to highlight or circle
the important details, making note of whether or not they agree with a particular position.
They may also add notes of their own to practice and improve their note taking skills.
Assessment: To differentiate the assessment students will have the option of handwriting,
typing, or recording their response. For students that struggle to summarize information,
the teacher will provide an outline to follow when completing the assessment.
Closure
After the class discussion students will have a closing discussion answering the
questions: What political issues are most important to you when voting? What political
issues do you think are most important for the common good?
Summative Assessment
Students will complete an individual assignment explaining whose position they agreed
with most for each issue (recognizing that it may not necessarily be the same candidate
for each issue). Students may handwrite, type, or record themselves to complete the
assignment. The following questions should be answered in the assignment: Why does
this position (on the three discussed political issues) benefit you personally? Why does
this position (on the same three issues) benefit the common good? Based on this
information, who would you have voted for in the 2016 presidential election? If you
would not vote, why not?
For students that may struggle to summarize and organize their information in an
appropriate manner, an outline will be provided to support the format.
This assessment will determine if students are able to identify essential information about
candidates, recognize what is important to them individually, and make informed
decisions, as a voter, about what is in the best interest of himself or herself and everyone
in the country. A checklist will be used to determine if students covered each part of the
assessment and if students showed an understanding of identifying issues that are
important to them and the world as a whole.
Students will be assessed on their ability to discuss and debate political issues during
procedure four, when the whole group is actively participating in a group discussion.
Students will be assessed using a checklist. To successfully meet the objective, students
must participate at least once (either with a comment or a question); must be quiet while
others are talking; must be respectful when commenting or asking a question; must speak
only when acknowledged or spoken to; must listen to others when they speak and must
be excited and interested in their own opinion when discussing.

posters from each group.
Assessment: 2016 Presidential Election Political Issues Assignment Prompt, pens or
pencils, paper for handwritten essays, computers for typed essays, recorder for recorded
assignments, outline of assignment for students that need additional support
Technology
Computers will be used by each student to conduct research on their candidate. Students
will use this specfic website to conduct their research:
[Link] Having computers and the internet
enhances the student's learning experience because the website they are using gives them
an abundant amount of information that is current. This experience will teach student to
not only navigate this particular website, but to start exploring the use of other internet
sources for research purposes as well.
A projector will be used to show youtube videos of two debates: one that shows
appropriate behavior and one that shows inappropriate behavior. The following websites
will be used [Link] (inappropriate behavior)
[Link] (appropriate behavior). The use of
this technology provides students with a visual and fun way of determining how to act
when having political discussions. Having students participate in the creation of their
own classroom debate rules will give them a sense of accountability and motivate them to
learn and practice expected behavior in classroom discussions at any point in time.
Reflection on Planning
This was my first actual lesson plan that I created. After many edits, suggestions from
peers and professionals, and research, I think I have developed a well written lesson plan
that is detailed and easy to follow. I believe the objectives are met both throughout the
procedures and during the assessment. Since this was my first lesson plan, it took me a lot
of time to include all the necessary information and ensure that I connected each one of
my activities and assessments with the lesson objectives. The lesson could be improved
simply by practicing writing more lessons. I think as I continue to write lessons I will be
able to more easily see where differentiation is needed and think of ways to different each
individual assignment for different students needs.
I believe that I successfully created fun and interesting assignments that both challenge
the students to learn new skills and support the overall goals and objectives of the lesson.
The skills used in this lesson are ones that students will be able to continue building on in
their future lessons. Some of these lessons include research and identifying important
issues in presidential elections.
I am concerned that even with support, some students may not be able correctly identify
what information is most essential when doing research. Fourth grade is a time when
students are just starting to use the internet as a resource, and while many of them are
very good at utilizing social media, it can be difficult for them to be able to select the
most essential information from an expository source. I tried to address this concern in
my lesson by providing a think-aloud on how to navigate the selected website; by having
students work in pairs while doing research, in hopes that they can help each other; and
by walking around during the activity and providing individual support when necessary.

Current Event Assignment: Global Connections, Frances New President
A. The nation involved in the article was France.
B. This article is connected to our group's unit plan (voting for president) as well as my
individual lesson plan (most recent presidential elections). I think using this current event
article as a supplement for the lesson would be a great idea, because it gets students
thinking about the election and voting process in other countries. It also acknowledges
the fact that governments around the world are set up differently. It is important to use an
article from a more current election to notice the issues that are important in this current
time period, what the people feel is best for themselves and the society as a whole.
