Because knowing how government operates helps in making a responsible voting citizen, a simple civics lesson may be of help. Government controls much of our lives, and the American system of government allows people to vote for good representatives in efforts to establish a good life.

Lessons from grade 6–8 classrooms illustrate how the NCSS standards and themes can be integrated into the middle school curriculum. Middle school teachers explore a number of expectations and outcomes in their lessons and build on the fundamentals established in the elementary grades. Themes of civics, political science, and history begin to take on more meaning as the content in these lessons connects to students’ lives.

You can take the American History, Civics, or Government test and get feedback after answering each question. A good way to have students test their knowledge at home or in groups. There are 96 questions in the full test. This is not a video, but an interactive site.

Wendy Ewbank teaches seventh and eighth grade at Madrona School in Bellevue, Washington. In a civics lesson on landmark Supreme Court cases, the students focus on the tension between the rights of the individual and the good of society. In the lesson, students work in
groups, presenting various cases to the class in the form of a press
conference. Key issues include the right to privacy, equal protection,
and the First Amendment. On day two, students hold a town meeting to discuss whether the burning of the American flag is protected under the right to freedom of speech. Ms. Ewbank provides clear rubrics, which help students understand the expectations and goals for the lesson.
