Introduction to Civics
Government Rights and Community Responsibility
Introduce students to civic life through an inquiry into how people use constitutional principles and reliable evidence to improve their communities. Explore public policy, the branches and levels of government, rights, African American struggles for inclusion, and meaningful participation before voting age.
Students examine a clearly labeled fictional library access case, interpret survey percentages, evaluate missing perspectives, and develop a civic proposal that identifies responsible authority and a measure of success.
