Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Sequence stages in Lindsey Graham’s life and career.
Identify the state and national offices described.
Describe the military-service background presented in the biography.

Teaching tips

Use the deck's chronological slide order to build a timeline activity to help students organize events from the biography.
Because later slides cover specific, contested Senate votes and confirmation hearings, review those slides ahead of time to align with your civics or current-events curriculum's approach to discussing living political figures.
Pair the military-service slides with a broader lesson on the JAG Corps or the structure of U.S. Senate elected office, since those slides use terms (JAG Corps, confirmation hearing) that may need pre-teaching.

Skills covered

Chronological biography reading — students follow a single public figure's life events in the order they occurred across 61 slides.
Civics vocabulary in context — students encounter terms including Judge Advocate General's Corps, confirmation hearing, and articles of impeachment as they occur in the biography.
