Last month I posted an NPR podcast and a dubious news item as resources to use for discussing the Occupy movement with students. Now you can supplement those with an entire lesson plan developed by C-SPAN to drive students to consider this question: Should students support or oppose the "Occupy" movement?
The lesson plan is build around some C-SPAN news clips and some current articles, pro and con, by some of the top columnists of leading newspapers. However, it was low, medium, and high read levels indicated, so it can be used with a wide range of ages/abilities. It is geared towards having a classroom debate, but the materials could be used on an individual basis and lead to writing a pro or con position paper instead.
It has some high quality resources on a timely subject, and the price is right, because it is FREE. If you are interested, you can download everything from the C-SPAN Classroom Deliberations website.
