Civics & Activism!

Each month, I will post a lesson about a different "Activist of the Month"

Included in this lesson:

• Interactive presentation for students
• Print outs
• "What is Activism" defined
• Specifics on who Michelle Obama is / how she advocated for her beliefs
• Highlighting / note taking strategies for students
• 4 specific initiatives that Michelle Obama organized (note sheets and essays)
  • Let Girls Learn
  • Reach Higher
  • Let's Move!
  • Joining Forces

• Various project ideas in which students can present

A fantastic way to engage your students in current events, civics, and fundamental rights to inspire their own activism!
