Voting
These pages offer a special look at how America’s diverse
peoples come together to participate in society through an institution
synonymous with democracy: voting. This year’s Online Conversation,
designed especially for students and teachers, is divided into
three sections, each looking at a different aspect of voting and
how it affects our participation in our government and our communities.
The three sections, which you can reach through the links below,
explore voting and Youth Citizenship, Voter
Registration, and Representation
in our system. In each section you’ll find a short article
looking at history, law, and voting today. You’ll also find
an interactive section where students can vote on an issue related
to the topic. You’ll find the results of related surveys
and research data, and links to related articles and websites.
After you familiarize yourself with the topic, visit the Activities
section, where you can choose among several web-based activities
for each topic, designed both for classroom and individual use.
Just make sure you stop and think about how important it is meet
the challenge of citizenship!
