Why is it important for state governments to
have a state constitution? What is
the
purpose and importance of having a written plan for how a government
should
operate?
These are all questions this
lesson plan on Florida’s
government address. Using different strategies like a graphic organizer for
Florida State Government, Venn diagram comparing and contrasting the U.S. Constitution
to that of Florida’s
State Constitution. Which are all given in the lesson plan to copy. This lesson
will leave students with a clear idea of how the Florida government works which
I think is an important thing for students to learn and some of these lessons
are no longer talked about as much in schools as there is no social studies
FCAT. This lesson plan has some really helpful guides in it like a section
called Steps to Deliver the Lesson which gives thought provoking questions and answers
to give your students. This lesson plan
even has ELL student accommodation suggestions built in. The lesson plan as
address Differentiated Instruction Strategies it has suggestion like while
students are completing the graphic organizers, work individually with students
who are having difficulty with reading. Or while students are completing the
paragraph summary, work on an Individual basis with students who are having
difficulty. It is an excellent lesson plan that has wonderful ideas and
printouts as well as great strategies for teachers to implement from the
