Lesson Plans

The website currently has six lesson plans, each aligned to the Virginia SOLs for eighth grade Civics and Economics. These lesson plans may be adapted to meet the teacher’s time constraints, student needs, and student ability level. Please, share these ideas with your lawyer or judge during your planning session to ensure a collaborative effort in preparing for the class. We encourage teachers to send us their own lesson plans so that we may continue to expand the collection of existing plans.
