The 10 lessons in the Civics Curriculum Guide series, designed for high schoolers, contain 28 activities focused on important civic topics. Young scholars consider what it means to be an American and a good citizen, examine the Four Freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment, and evaluate how well the ideals of the Preamble to the Constitution have been realized. Students also engage in service-learning projects, study propaganda posters of World War II, practice problem-solving skills, and role play getting a bill passed. The engaging activities can be used in any order and at any time during the school year.
