Course Description: How do elections work? What does the President do all day? Who decides where stop signs go? What is Labor Day? Uncle Sam and You is a one-year civics course that answers these questions and many more. Designed for students in grades 5-8, lessons focus on America’s founding documents, branches of government, patriotic symbols, voting, the election process, Washington, D.C., the presidency, how Congress works, American holidays, and aspects of federal, state, and local government.

 

Course Objectives

Each full-color lesson includes a short chapter to read that explains the topic to the student; chapters feature both modern and historical photographs and illustrations. Lessons conclude with a variety of subject-based activity ideas that relate to:

·        Biblical studies

·        Literature

·        Creative writing

·        Art

·        Vocabulary

·        Reading assignments

·        Notes for the student workbook/lesson review

·        Weekly family activity that involves crafts, meals, and other multi-age activities are provided

 

Assignments/Quizzes/Exams

Fifteen units are included each text (Part 1 & 2), with four lessons in each unit. Depending on how many activities are assigned, students will need 45-90 minutes per lesson. However, the back of each book includes fifteen optional lessons on America’s patriotic holidays. If five lessons per week are desired, the holiday lessons can be used as a fifth lesson or for other occasions. A total of 150 lessons/30 weeks of lessons are provided. Students will read the text and complete student activities at home throughout the week. Thursday course work will include class lectures, activities, and group discussion.

 

There are three opportunities for graded components of the course, should parents decide to monitor and notate completed work:

1.     Lesson Activities

2.     Student Workbook

3.     Unit tests

4.     Optional: Weekly Readings (for students in the literature option)
