Do your elementary students have a difficult time learning government and economics? Do you struggle with an easy way to teach these topics? Are you looking for a possible classroom management system? This book has detailed, hands-on lesson plans and activities to encourage a more personal understanding of America's Democratic system. When participating in this task, students apply for a civil servant job, get paid, pay for services, and work within a democratic structure created by the class as a whole. This packet includes an interview scoring guide, applications for class jobs, job descriptions, lesson plans, website resources, as well as, book ideas.
