Want to teach your students about the political spectrum, but don't know where to start? This comprehensive lesson introduces the idea of the political spectrum (left vs. right), the basic values for each side, and common political values in any region. Here is a simple introduction to the political spectrum and political beliefs that can apply to any country or region. It includes: - A handout that shows the names of left and right kinds of government (Communist, Socialist, Liberal, Moderate, Conservative, Right Wing, Fascist) and their main beliefs about the economy, social programs, moral issues, values, progress, and human nature. - A sorting task (cut and paste) of political beliefs on crime and punishment, social programs, the economy, abortion, guns, freedom of expression and more. Students cut out the 12 statements and sort 6 to the left and 6 to the right. Then they try to think of (or research) some beliefs that would fall more to the centre. - A research graphic organizer for local political parties (municipal, state/provincial or federal in any country). The teacher can assign what level of government students should research. Then they find 2-3 local political parties at that level and see their stance on issues like the economy, moral issues, social programs, progress, and crime. Finally, they can decided where on the political spectrum they think each party should fall. - A reflection with questions to get students thinking about this way of classifying political parties. Does it sow division or create harmony? Does it apply accurately to the parties they researched? Does it match well with their own personal beliefs? What's Included: 5 page PDF: Title Page, Handout, Cut and Paste Activity, Local Political Party Research, Reflection Grades to Use With: This lesson is designed for students in grades 7-12, high school special education, or adult education classes.

A Political Machine in Practice Lesson
Social Studies, Government, Grade 9, 10, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans
This is a lesson for A Political Machine in Practice. National Curriculum Standards: Learners will understand mechanisms by which governments meet the needs and wants of citizens, regulate territory, manage conflict, establish order and security, and balance competing conceptions of a just society. Specific Objective: Students will be able to understand how a political machine worked by actually becoming one and trying to resolve several cases for the people. Materials: Worksheet provided. Lesson: In this lesson, students get to understand how political machines worked by actually becoming one! (There is no better way to learn how crooks work than by being a crook yourself). Divide the class in pairs and tell them that they are the city boss of New York (Boss Tweed) sitting at the top of a political machine. Tell them that they’ll try to be as corrupt as possible in making certain decisions. When you go over the worksheet, you may want to mention that Boss Tweed of Tammany Hall paid $13 million for a construction job, when it actually cost $3. Where did the rest go to??? And there were all kinds of shady things going on. Political Machine Activity For this activity, students will be a city boss standing at the top of the pyramid of a political machine. They are therefore going to try to be as corrupt as possible in order for them to understand how political machines worked. These are their two main goals: 1. To remain in power by becoming reelected (they want to win the favor of many ignorant immigrants who don’t know much about what’s going on but have many needs) 2. Pocket as much money as possible whether it comes from a person or government funds.
