Let us begin with a simple question. What do we want the kids to take away from the chapter when they step out of the classroom?

We want them to understand that:

Elections are the beginning of democracy, not the end.
Every vote counts.
India has done a great job to become the world’s biggest democracy with an effective election process.

Listing these points down is a useful way of orienting the students’ learning and our own preparation.

To make this possible, we have the following tools at our disposal:

A suggested chapter progression plan.
Two teachers’ handouts describing unique experiential and concept learning activities.
One class handout or notes on various topics.
Three videos to understand our election process better.
Two worksheets to inspire thought and application.
