Hook: When students come into the classroom "How is your life affected by the Revolutionary War" will be posted on the board. Students will be called on as they raise their hand. This will get the ball rolling and help the teacher see where students are on knowledge of this subject. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> (10 min)

The teacher will give every student a copy of a list of countries with democracy. The teacher will show the students, by using this list that democracy is throughout the world in several places other than the United States. The teacher will also hand out two readings. One reading is “Democratic Governments” (see attachments). The other reading is Defining Democracy. (See attachments). Students will be asked to carefully read each piece of reading and to make notes on the key aspects of the readings. As students take notes they will be allowed to ask any questions that they may have. The teacher will go around the room answering any questions that students may have. There will then be a class discussion on the readings. Students will be encouraged to ask questions and make comments on the reading material. Students will then move outside to finish the class off with a class discussion on Democracy in the world today and how the Revolution era has affected it. This is meant to be a very open discussion and all ideas are welcome.
