Understanding that voting is important and that we vote for things we want is foundational to our democratic system of government. First graders are generally egocentric, dichotomous thinkers. This unit is intended to nudge students to become empathic thinkers who understand and respond to the needs of the group and others. The goal is to teach children about active, informed participation, which prepares them to take on civic responsibility in our classroom and world. |
