Limited vs Unlimited Government WalkAround Activity and Lesson - Print & Digital
This lesson explores the differences between limited and unlimited government systems. The activities are engaging for students, and the guided 5-E format is easy for you to use! Everything you need is included!
Begin with a “List It” warm-up to explore the role of government. Then, explain key vocabulary and practice applying the new concepts with a “Classify” activity. Fill-in notes accompany the lesson. An investigative activity examines how a government can influence the daily lives of its citizens. Students analyze 15 real-world examples, identify the type of government they BEST fit, then justify their responses. A printable “Walk-Around” version is included to get your class up and moving. Finally, an “Undercover Reporter” creative writing activity allows you to assess their understanding of the concepts.
