A Service Learning Project: Give Back to your Community
An open (but well guided) project that gets kids thinking and giving back. Great to use during a unit on civics and government. I had great success with this project in my classroom. This is a handout that includes a description of the project, ideas, a simple rubric, and a place for students to write their proposals and for you, the teacher, to approve of before they begin.

Which Political Party Are You?
This activity helps students determine their political party affiliation without knowing it! There are 11 issues with 2 stances each (1 Republican and 1 Democratic). There is no indication as to which stance aligns with which political party. Students receive a +1 for a Republican stance and a -1 for a Democratic stance. The closer they are to +11, the more conservative they are. The closer they are to 0, the more moderate they are, and so on.

Netflix Documentary "Out of Many, One" The Immigrant's Story
Almost 40 questions designed to flow with the slightly more than 34 minute film. Middle School and High School appropriate. Also could lead into a class discussion in several stops along the way...Contrary to what our former President might have you believe, there are plenty of decent people who got here legally, and did and will continue to contribute to our great nation. We all might be better off if we had to endure what they did to become Americans, perhaps then so many of us wouldn't take

Veterans Day Tribute
In today's standards driven education, it can become easy for teachers to not find the time to cover important days like Veterans Day. Although always important as it allows us to pay tribute to the real American heroes, with the constant fighting that is going on still today it is a necessity to take a moment and remember. This power point allows you to take a brief moment and remember those that have served and are serving.

We the People (Netflix) Viewing Guide
This is a viewing guide to accompany the Netflix series We the People. This is an exceptional review resource for students in civics/government courses, as it works through major parts of the Constitution (structure of each government branch, Bill of Rights, importance of taxes, etc.) to the tune of many modern music genres.
