Teach Global Politics with Engaging Lessons and Activities
This collection of global politics lesson plans helps high school students make sense of how power, conflict, and cooperation shape the world today. Designed for secondary classrooms, these resources connect global political concepts to real-world events students see in the news.
Educators will find lessons and activities that explore global politics today, including U.S. foreign policy, international organizations, diplomacy, international law, and shifting geopolitical relationships. Students analyze contemporary conflicts, global power dynamics, and different political systems to better understand how nations interact and respond to global challenges.
The collection also supports instruction around global issues, such as war and conflict, regional politics, and the role of international institutions like the United Nations. Through case studies, media literacy activities, and discussion-based lessons, students build the skills needed to evaluate global political developments and participate in informed civic dialogue.
