Teacher feedback:

• Before teaching my students about our government and elections, this was a great resource to use before teaching my students. They were able to understand how the constitution is the basis of everything.
• I was given my 6th graders partway through the year due to staffing changes. I found this resource while looking for economic activities that met the new standards and fit my student's range of needs. This resource was amazing!
• I loved how many activities were included with this. We enjoyed the variety and in-depth resources.
• Loved the graphic organizers that came with this resource! Very student-friendly!
