Census 2, take ours!

Lesson of the day

Census part 2

Do (grades K-12): The census is due tomorrow. Tomorrow!! Watch this video to see why it’s so important, and then take our short census. Once we know where everyone stands, we can work on passing laws.

Listen (grades 8-12): You can hear the episode here (Apple podcasts) on YouTube, or on our website. Feel free to take notes on our graphic organizer while you do.

When you listen to the episode, keep these questions in your mind:

  • Why is the census so important in the first place?

  • What would be the effect if large groups of people in your town didn’t fill it out?
