Take & Teach Lesson: National Geographic American Government | Freedom of Expression
National Geographic Learning American Government Take and Teach Lesson Plan
What are the boundaries of free speech in a democratic society? In this lesson, students explore how the First Amendment protects freedom of expression—and how that freedom can be limited in the interest of national security, public order, or individual rights. Through historical examples, Supreme Court cases, and classroom dialogue, students engage in critical thinking about the role of expression in shaping civic life.
