Beginner Level
This class will be an introduction to the 3 branches of the United States government. I will introduce the executive, legislative, and judicial branches using a fun tree diagram to take notes on. This is a 55- minute introduction of the topic only not an in- depth study. I will explain the topic in kid friendly terms while the learner is filling out their tree diagrams that I will explain to them how to create. My learners will be able to ask questions and interact with me as needed. At the end of the lesson, I will give them an oral quiz to assess their understanding of the material.
Learning Goals
The learner when finished the course will be able to name at least 2 functions of each of the three branches of the government.The learner when finished the course will be able to understand and reiterate to me the importance of each individual branch.
