The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Democracy and Its Influence: Origins:
In this experience, students consider what they know about democracy and explore the historical origins in Greece. They look at the influence of democracy in the United States and France. Then they describe limited governments and explain the reasons for limiting governmental control. Finally, based on a Churchill quote, they explain whether democracy is the best form of government. The student pack includes an optional video, What did democracy really mean in Athens? Objectives:
You have probably heard the word democracy many times in your lifetime. But where did this form of government come from—and how has that form of government played a role in history? That’s what you’ll explore in this experience.
Objectives:
What words or phrases do you think of when you hear the word democracy? To list more than one idea, separate them with a comma, like this: hour, week.
Write your definition or features below.
Give students a few minutes to brainstorm and then discuss their definitions or lists. Tell students to keep those in mind as you explore the origins and influence of democracy.
When everyone is ready to continue, unlock the next scene.
