Are you a UMD professor or instructor who wants to teach their class about voting and elections?
- The TerpsVote Coalition has created a course module, which includes an instructor lesson plan and a powerpoint, for teachers to run virtually with their students! The course module includes activities about how to vote, why voting is important, and how college students are impacted by the elected officials on their ballot.
- The entire lesson plan includes six comprehensive activities and runs for 90 minutes. But, the lesson plan is customizable and you can pick the activities that you think would be the most engaging for your students and condense it into a 20-minute or 30-minute activity.
Please reach out to terpsvote@umd.edu for a copy of the powerpoint and the lesson plan, as well as for answers to any questions you and your students have about elections and voting.
