1 hora por semana. Homework will be assigned on specific weeks, after the first day of instruction that week. Homework may consist of a worksheet, online activity, or research assignment. All homework is designed to reinforce the concepts, to solidify understanding, and to allow students the opportunity to apply these concepts to real life situations. Students will be expected to complete the assignments individually, by Day 2 of that week. We will then review the assignment as a class during Day 2. Some homework assignments may also be submitted via GoogleDrive to be reviewed by the instructor and returned with comments.Evaluación

**WHAT WILL BE TAUGHT? Civics is the study of the rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizens, and of the government's function and role in our lives. In this course, we'll marry classic civics with contemporary concepts to more accurately explore the modern state of our government. In addition, civics is best understood when students understand HOW we got here. Immersed in this civics curriculum are countless bits of forgotten US history so they can see the full story! **HOW WILL CLASS BE STRUCTED? This is a semester-long course that's broken up into four individual units. Each unit is 4-weeks long, and each week we'll meet twice. Each unit is independent of the others, which means that students can take just one, a few, or all of them. However, I do recommend taking all of the units, and in chronological order, in order to get the most out of the material. Each week, we'll cover a different topic. Day one will include instruction using videos, lectures, PowerPoint presentations, Nearpod activities, and more. Day two will vary week-by-week, but the aim will be to complete the instruction, discuss the concepts, and review homework assignments (if applicable). Some weeks will include a short homework assignment or quiz, but not all. **UNIT 3 - TOPICS BY WEEK Week 1 - Economics, Part I Capitalism and the Free Market Week 2 - Economics, Part II The Federal Reserve and Inflation Week 3 - Economics, Part III The Federal Budget and National Debt Week 4 - Economics, Part IV The History of Taxes A basic knowledge of the U.S. government will be helpful for this course, but is not required. It would be helpful to have taken Units 1 and 2 of this course, but is also not required. All instruction will be thorough and fact-based. My goal is to make civics as interactive and exciting as possible, so I ask lots of questions and do my best to keep students engaged! **For those seeking to take more than one unit, the remaining units include the following topics: Unit 4: Politics & Current Events
Metas de aprendizaje
The purpose of this course is truly to gain a more realistic understanding of how the government is structured today, the role it has in our daily lives, and how to be a more knowledgeable, responsible citizen. In this unit, students will gain a deeper understanding of the U.S. economy, the role of the Federal Reserve, the state of our current budget and debt, and the importance of entrepreneurship and fair competition in the marketplace.
