Title: The Powers of GovernmentLesson Plan #3 - Social StudiesTitle: The Powers of GovernmentIntroduction:Since visual stimuli and organization skills are so important on the GED test and in life, this activity provides practice in using an organized visual representation of the powers of government.Objectives:In this lesson, students will:Organize similarities and differences for the powers of government.Demonstrate knowledge of the Venn Diagram.Demonstrate teamwork skills. Session time: 10 -15 minutesMaterials:Color coded OR white “Powers of Government” cardsVenn Diagram (Either drawn on a poster board or the blackboard). A poster board Venn Diagram may be reused in mathematics to show relationships between sets or in language arts to examine similarities and differences in characters, stories, poems, etc. Methods:Guided discussion, cooperative learning, interactive participation, visuals, written responseProcedures:1) Prepare cards with a power of government on each card (see template that follows for information needed to make the cards). Make cards a different color for federal, for state, and for shared or both to help students organize when initially learning. Make the cards all the same color for review after initial instruction.2) Divide the students into teams. 3) Randomly handout the cards to the teams. 4) Have the students determine where each of the cards should be placed on the Venn Diagram. All of the powers of the state will be placed in “A”. All of the powers of the Federal government in will be placed in “B”. All the powers that are shared by the Federal and the state governments will beplaced in “C”. Using color coded cards make it easier for the students to determine the appropriate place for the cards and thus ensures success. However, if the students are more advanced or you are repeating this activity, use the white cards.Powers of Government—FederalPRINT MONEYREGULATE INTERSTATE & INTERNATIONAL TRADEMAKE TREATIES & CONDUCT FOREIGN POLICYDECLARE WARPROVIDE AN ARMY AND NAVYESTABLISH POST OFFICESPowers of Government—StateISSUE LICENSESREGULATE INTRASTATE BUSINESSESCONDUCT ELECTIONSESTABLISH LOCAL GOVERNMENTSRATIFY AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTIONTAKE MEASURES FOR PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETYPowers of Government—BothCOLLECT TAXESBUILD ROADSBORROW MONEYESTABLISH COURTSMAKE AND ENFORCE LAWSCHARTER BANKS & CORPORATIONSSPEND MONEY FOR THE GENERAL WELFARETAKE PRIVATE PROPERTY FOR PUBLIC PURPOSES WITH JUST COMPENSATIONNote: This lesson is included in the workshop, How to Make the U.S. Constitution Come to Life, in the SIPDC Catalog of Professional Development
