Types of Governments Lesson Plan: PowerPoint & Student Handout

Types of governments -- just the concept of what a government is -- is a complicated topic that is a challenge to help students comprehend. This lesson breaks down the fundamental elements of 5 government paradigms through a visually-engaging PowerPoint and a guided Student Handout.

This one-day lesson is guided by a PowerPoint presentation and Student Handout. Each walks you through every step of the lesson. Students learn the essence of 5 governments (Absolute monarchy, communism, democracy, theocracy, and dictatorships)

The lesson includes:

- a 16 page PowerPoint that includes the warm-up activity, students notes, discussion/analysis assignment and an exit question.

*I design all of my PowerPoints to include only a few words per slide -- there are no "walls of text". That is difficult for students to take in and distracts them from listening to your explanation/lecture. It also stops them from shouting, "wait, go back, I'm not finished!"

- A 2-page doodle notes style student handout that encompasses each step of the lesson from the warm-up to the exit. An answer key is included.
