Lesson Plans for Teachers

Minor Power plans to offer grade-specific lesson plans to help educators engage students in meaningful discussions about youth rights, democratic participation, and civic engagement. These carefully crafted plans are meant to align with age-appropriate learning objectives while encouraging critical thinking about the role of young people in society. From introducing basic concepts of fairness and voice to elementary students, to exploring complex questions of voting rights and political representation with high schoolers, our curriculum materials are designed to provide a framework for empowering the next generation of active citizens.
