Description
This text is intended for one semester of Civics study with the goal to teach young minds about American Government and become well informed Christian citizens. Land of Fair Play establishes a playground analogy and overlays that with governmental theory. This analogy helps students understand the roles, laws, and expectations of the government. Chapters take a progression from understanding the overarching government structure to your local offices. Resources and ideas for your students include contacting your local state representatives, examining local and state ballots, state yearbooks, and more. They encourage you to add supplemental items as you have time or when it seems appropriate. Each chapter concludes with Questions on the Text section and Questions for Further Study to facilitate comprehension and retention. Graphics are scattered throughout the text to bring context to what students are reading. The six appendices in the back are additional pools of great governmental knowledge. While designed for 8th graders, this also can be an option for a remedial government course in high school. 186 pgs, pb. ~Rebecca
