Background	Essential Question: What do you know about voting in America?
Activity (Writing/Discourse/Reading)	Task 1: "Reasons Not to Vote" "Article" Students will read the article (either individually or as a class) and take notes on their own paper. Notes: Students will write down the 10 reasons people do not vote according to the author. Students will write down 2-3 more reasons they believe people do not vote which are not mentioned in the article. Students will develop 1-2 personal examples describing why a relative/or friend has not voted in the past. Task 2: Discussion on Voting Advocacy teacher read: "In the 2012 presidential elections, there were 57.5% of eligible voters that came out to vote. In 2008, 62.3% came out to vote. Remember the voting age in America is 18 years old." A voter must "be a U.S. citizen (either by birth or naturalization), must meet his or her state's residency requirements, and must be 18 years old-(some states allow 17-year-olds to vote in primaries or register to vote if they will be 18 before the general election)." Minorities (Black and Hispanics) and women have lower voter turnout than white males. Student Responses: (Students should use their notes/allow all students to share their personal experiences). Why do you think people don’t go out to vote? Are there limitations to voting? How do we get people to get out to vote in this coming election? Task 3: Discuss Quote *Have someone read the following:* "We should all do something to right the wrongs that we see and not just complain about them"- Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. What is JKO's message? How does this apply to lack of voting among women and minority groups?
Reflection and Discourse	Closing Discuss: What do you know about voting in America now?
