Responsibilities - Lesson for Grade 1, Chapter - Government and Civics
In the "Responsibilities" lesson, designed for Grade 1 students as part of the "Your World" unit in the Government and Civics chapter, young learners will embark on an exciting journey to understand the core responsibilities that come with being a member of a community and a country. Through engaging activities such as the Voting exercise, Election Day Worksheet, and The Pledge of Allegiance Worksheet, students will gain a foundational understanding of civic duties and the importance of participation in democratic processes.

Secondly, by exploring the significance of Election Day, students learn about the process through which leaders are chosen and the importance of having a voice in those decisions. Finally, The Pledge of Allegiance Worksheet teaches students about the values that underpin their country, fostering a sense of national identity and responsibility.
