Let’s try to understand these findings from Statistics Canada. Use the following sentence starters to write the blog.

First focus upon identifying something interesting about the graph:

“I notice that…”

Follow that observation with the question:

“Why is it that way?” or “Why did it happen that way?”

Try to explain your thinking:

“What makes you think that?”

Try to expand your thinking to make connections:

“What action do you think can be taken by individuals, groups or government to improve voter turnout?”

“What do you think might be the consequences for individuals, the community or the government if people fail to participate in the democratic process?”

Try to draw a conclusion:

“Do you think this is a right Canadians take for granted or a responsibility that is overlooked?” Give reasons to support your decision.
