About This Activity
What a perfect time to begin learning about the U.S. government! This class aims to lay a strong foundation in the principles of the U.S. government, the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, and the importance of civic engagement. Through a blend of hands-on activities, discussions, and project-based learning, students will explore the workings of American democracy and develop a deeper understanding of their role within it. Students will closely follow the presidential election in real-time, while participating in a mock-election of their own. They will also learn the basics of the American government, including the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the three branches of government.
