What better way to kick off an election year with a healthy dose of civics and the beginning of this great country? A saying that is repeated in my class is, "History repeats itself." Over and over again from creation to our current situation, our ancestors have already lived through tumultuous times, trials and errors, highs and lows. It is important to identify this as a way to become a well informed contributing member of society.
Furthermore, through our civics component, your students will understand how the government works and gain a solid understanding of why we should be proud to live in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.
