The Nation’s Top Civics Resource
How America Works: Understanding Your Government and How You Can Get Involved
Edited By Elliott Rebhun
Grades: 6‒12
America is dealing with a pandemic that has changed our lives, our economy, and our teaching. At the same time, the nation’s teens are making their voices heard on a range of issues of particular interest to them, from climate change to immigration, race, and gender. But many don’t have a full understanding of how to move beyond speaking out to taking part in the political process.
That’s why Social Studies teachers need a current, super-engaging, curriculum-connected and standards-based civics resource like How America Works.
