Activity Overview


Who gets the right to vote? Free, frequent, and fair elections are a cornerstone to a functioning democracy where our elected officials represent the will of all people. Using a timeline layout, students will create a timeline that details the history of voting rights in the United States. This activity can be used as a summative review of the unit, or an assignment that helps students learn and teach one another about their findings. Teachers can also have students select one milestone and create a timeline that details the events surrounding that specific event.

For an alternative to the timeline layout, have students create a timeline poster to incorporate into a presentation or gallery walk. You can add more than one template to this assignment to give students lots of options, and update the instructions accordingly.
