Types of Government Wanted Posters: Monarchy, Democracy, Theocracy, Dictatorship
About This Product
This political systems lesson is an engaging way to teach your students in grades 8-12 about the different political systems that are found around the world- throughout history and in our modern times.
Students will work independently or as small groups to research five different kinds of political leadership: dictatorship, monarchy, oligarchy, theocracy, and democracy.
They will complete independent research to discover information about the following topics:
Rise to Power: How does this leader get selected- elections, by birth, another way?
Actions: What are this leader's jobs when in power? Making laws?
Known Associates: Who does this leader work with when they are in power?
Ancient Examples: Provide examples of civilizations in history who had this type of leader.
Current Examples: Provide examples of countries that currently have this type of leader.
Pros: What are the positive aspects of this type of leader?
Cons: What are the negative aspects of this type of leader?
Students will present their information in a very unique way: on a handmade Wanted Poster: which can add a bit of fun to the lesson.
Important Note: Please keep in mind that these posters are created to be printed on 11x17 sheets of paper- perfect to display and hang around your classroom!
Groups can present their research to the rest of the class, and students can use the included note-taking sheets to record the facts about the other political systems.
This is a great way for students to learn from one another!
