About This Lesson
Should Congress and the President pass legislation to raise the federal minimum wage of American workers? Learn about the positions of Senators, House members, and the President by watching C-SPAN primary source videos, reading related articles, and using our lesson plan on the issues surrounding raising the minimum wage. Then participate in a “Deliberation” in your classroom regarding the possible actions Congress and the President could take.
This is a fantastic activity for any classroom---my students had a spirited debate on minimum wage.
