Use this webquest to introduce students to the issue of impeachment, how the founding fathers determined the use of impeachment in the U.S. Constitution and the history of impeachment.

There are 10 web questions on this topic(including the Order of Succession and the Checks and Balances between the three branches of government). There is also a short Did You Know? section and several comprehension questions.

By Teach with Ease Collection

This engaging resource delves into the 2024 U.S. election showdown between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, making it accessible and exciting for students aged 11 and up. Designed to fit a full class period, the material compares two texts that offer distinct viewpoints on the potential clash between these political figures. It provides students with a rich analysis of how different authors present varying perspectives on the same high-stakes topic.

Ideal for high school students, the resource helps readers understand how narrative techniques and authorial viewpoints shape the reader’s perception of the candidates and their policies. This comparison encourages critical thinking and equips students with the tools to analyze diverse opinions in written form.

Educators can use this lesson to engage students in discussions about media literacy and political rhetoric while fostering a deeper understanding of the 2024 election. It is a perfect fit for those looking to bring current events into the classroom in a meaningful and educational way.

What's Inside?

It provides a detailed overview of her current polling position, fundraising achievements, and the specific challenges she faces, such as her track record on immigration and past performance as Vice-President. For example, it notes, “Harris faces considerable challenges... Her track record on immigration, her mixed performance as Vice-President, and past campaign struggles could be leveraged against her by the Trump campaign.” This text delivers a clear, fact-based assessment, ideal for understanding the nuts and bolts of her campaign strategy.

  • Text Two: "Kamala Harris vs. Donald Trump: The Political Battlefield" This narrative-driven text uses vivid imagery and evocative language to frame the election as a dramatic clash of ideologies and personalities. Describing Harris’s campaign as a “burst of vitality” and contrasting it with Trump’s “seasoned bravado,” this piece paints a compelling picture of the campaign dynamics and stakes. It engages readers with a dramatic portrayal of the political landscape, capturing the emotional and strategic dimensions of the contest.

A Peep from the Document: “Harris faces considerable challenges...
