This lesson plan educates students about the history and significance of voting rights in the United States. It covers the evolution of voting rights from the country’s founding to the present day, highlighting key amendments and legislation that expanded suffrage. The lesson includes an overview of voting’s importance in a democratic society. A historical timeline of significant events and changes in voting rights (such as the 15th, 19th, 24th, and 26th Amendments, as well as the Snyder Act of 1924/Indian Citizenship Act of 1924) is provided. Discussion questions about the barriers to voting various groups have faced and how those barriers were overcome are also included. Interactive activities, including analyzing primary source documents, creating a timeline, and participating in a mock election, are part of the lesson. Students are assessed through participation in activities, discussions, and a final project researching and presenting on a specific aspect of voting rights history. The lesson aims to foster an understanding of the struggles and triumphs associated with the expansion of voting rights and emphasize the importance of civic participation.
