04

How to Assess It

Hand out the 26th Amendment, a short history article, and a labeled youth turnout chart. Ask: "What changed in voting law, and what does the chart show about participation? Cite a detail from each source and name one limit of the chart."

1. 01

   Give pairs printed copies of the 26th Amendment, a history article, and a youth turnout chart; have them highlight evidence in three colors.

2. 02

   Ask: "Does the 26th Amendment guarantee that young adults vote? Use its wording and a turnout chart to defend your answer."

3. 03

   Run a source-sort relay with an amendment excerpt, a history article, and a turnout chart; teams label each source's creator, date, and limits.

4. 04

   Open a state voter registration page and a candidate's campaign video; students record each publisher, date, and one claim the source supports.
