Teachers can adjust this unit to meet the needs of students in upper elementary and a middle school civics class. PDF & Google Slides formats are included.

Citizen Action Plan Research Unit allows students to select a problem in their community, research it, and develop a solution.

• Teachers can decide whether or not students actually carry out their plan or just research it.
• Students can present their plans in order to meet speech & language standards.
• Students can work with a partner or small group.
• PDF & Google Slides formats are included.

Civics & Government Exit Tickets are a great way to included formative assessments after each lesson. Use these pre-written exit tickets to have students check their understanding of the lesson's main ideas. The exit tickets can also be used for bell ringers, spiral review, homework, morning work, task cards, or partner work. This resource includes a set of 20 exit tickets with 1 - 3 questions on each. A blank template is also included. PDF & Google Slides formats are included.

Civics & Government Clip Cards Activity is a fun and engaging way for students to practice learning about civics & government. Students clip a clothespin or paper clip onto an answer choice, then flip the card over to self-check! This activity can be used as a center, early finisher activity, or a partner activity. Some teachers have even used these as homework for students who need more practice! The cards will last a long time if they are printed on card stock and laminated.

Answers keys are included. The resources were designed to be used with 4th - 7th grades.

The teaching time of these resources depends upon a number of factors. Teachers can also pick and choose which activities they want to use.
