Decision Day Investigation Notebook
Students complete a guided notebook with their question, what they noticed during the class and library voting experiences, and their own explanation of why people participate in government. The notebook shows personal evidence, vocabulary use, and a short reflection on how their thinking changed.
Our Voices Gallery Walk Sign and Voting Talk
Small groups create a simple gallery walk sign and short oral explanation that show one way people participate in community decisions. Each team presents their sign, shares evidence from the class voting chart and discussion, and leads a quick audience vote.
