In our school district second graders need to learn about democracy and voting so I had the students break into expert groups to learn about the voting process and democracy in our community.
First they got into small groups to read the books I provided them. All the books were nonfiction and had specific sections students needed to focus on when reading.
After they finished reading they needed to create a poster with the main ideas from their book. All posters included examples of democracy, the aspect of government covered, and how it affected our community.
The kids loved working in teams and getting to present their findings was a good culmination for the week.
