Student at Texas Tech interviewed other students about their knowledge of political and historical topics. They recorded and published the results here:
In the past I have designed a 'quiz' with similar questions but this video may be easier for you to put together. I use the quiz or video to launch into a sociological discussion about youth and political action. When talking about the political and power processes that influence youth engagement, I like to draw upon data and resources from The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement [CIVIC] Check out their website here: http://www.civicyouth.org/
They recently published an interactive map that allows you to look at youth voting rates by state and over time. You can also make graphs. The maps and graphs have a lot of functionality but the side effect is that the site can feel overwhelming and isn't the most user-friendly so I would not use it for the first time in class. However, once you get a feel for it, I think you will see that this is a great way to show students data.Link to Interactive Map: http://www.civicyouth.org/maps/elections/
