I will be using ICIVICS.COM as a resource to teach this class. This is a wonderful site created by former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor to teach kids about civics. This site is free for the students to make an account and it provides a lot of valuable civics resources as well as a very engaging game platform for kids to practice their civics skills. I will be utilizing Kahoot as a fun game format for review of material covered in class. This is a free game platform for kids and they really enjoy competing with each other over the content. Nearpod is an interactive power point program that I utilize that is free for students. I can lead live nearpods over content and assign nearpods that the kids can work through at their own pace. They are a fantastic interactive resource that I have used for years. Ed puzzle is a short video clip platform that has the user watch short clips over selected information and answer questions as they go along. It is a free resource for kids and the kids really enjoy the clips. All of the above stated resources are FREE and I have utilized them in my civics instruction for years.
I will be using my knowledge of this topic along with a variety of sources: The U.S. Constitution, The Articles of Confederation, The Bill of Rights, The Declaration of Independence, and the site ICIVICS.COM which is full of teacher resources that I have used for many years.
