Students will initiate Phase 1 by forming small groups to identify key issues surrounding voting age reform, articulate initial positions on lowering the legal voting age to sixteen, and prepare to present these positions during an opening discussion with peers, fostering critical inquiry into constitutional, civic, and emotional elements of the debate.

Students will conduct in-depth research on constitutional amendments related to voting rights, analyze real-world case studies of regions with lower voting ages, and gather community perspectives through surveys to evaluate the evidence and form well-supported arguments about the impacts of lowering the voting age to sixteen.

Students will meticulously craft their legislative briefs by synthesizing researched constitutional amendments and global case studies, integrating peer feedback, and employing statistical analysis to construct evidence-based arguments in favor of lowering the voting age, while effectively anticipating and addressing counterarguments.

Students will deliver and defend their legislative briefs in a public presentation session, showcasing their analytical findings and engaging with an audience to address counterarguments and incorporate community feedback.
