This lesson plan can be used with ANY City Club forum and serves as an excellent resource for schools attending forums for the first time. It includes pre-forum research, active participation, and post-forum reflection, fostering critical thinking and civic awareness. The accompanying student guide helps with note-taking and reflection, and students can submit their work for publication on the City Club blog.
