If you are teaching your government class about political parties here is a week-long unit!
I created and used this powerpoint in the 12th grade class I taught in the Dominican Republic. They were learning about U.S. government using Magruder’s American Government textbook. This is from chapter 5. The powerpoint includes the lecture slides, practice quizzes after each section, anticipatory sets, and a group project. My students loved the group project, they were very creative! Check out their work at the link below.
You can also download the test I created to be given after this unit is taught.
