Journal
Impeachment Coverage
Sharing Infographics
Rights and Responsibilities Article
Who Votes?
Voting Pamphlets
1. Journal
Do you see voting as a right or a responsibility? Why?
2. Impeachment Highlights
- Instead of CNN 10, we're going to watch a CBS news special report on impeachment coverage that explains what's going to happen this week.
- For your information, CBS news has a reputation for being factual, yet slightly left-leaning when it comes to bias in their media coverage.
- If you're interested, there are live updates being posted here throughout each day of impeachment proceedings.
You all made amazing creations of your infographics. Today I would like to share them as we make notes on the three subjects:
4. Rights and Responsibilities of a US Citizen
- Yesterday you read an article called "Rights and Responsibilities of a US Citizen."
- We need to fill in this chart in our journal to organize the ideas presented in the article.
We're going to have a voting simulation that illustrates who votes and we're going to question why people don't vote.
6. Voting Projects
- This week, you are going to work in your tables to develop fliers or pamphlets that outline reasons to vote and the steps involved in preparing to vote.
- Here are the elements you MUST include:
- Why vote
- How to vote
- Basic information about what people are voting on
- choosing a party
- types of elected officials
- information on the history of voting in the US
- different propositions on the ballot
- You can use a number of different resources for this:

- Hand-drawn brochure
- Here are some websites you might find helpful:
