Every generation of Americans needs to continually fight to maintain freedom and limit the size of government. To protect democracy and the freedoms we have, we need to limit the amount of power one person can have.
The Lesson begins by showing students the Netflix series, “How to become a Tyrant.” This fascinating series shows the steps dictators take to gain ultimate power. Students are captivated during the five-episode series. - Each episode is 20-30 minutes.
Next, I have students research a historical dictator, like Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Putin and use what they learned to describe the characteristics of the dictator and their secret to achieving ultimate power.
Finally, students will watch videos about modern day dictators and tactics they use to gain ultimate power. Students will analyze the pros and cons of having a strong leader. Students will use critical thinking skills to analyze by citizens in countries such as El Salvador support Nayib Bukele.
