Amanda Bennett's American Government Unit Studies CD-ROM  E-mail this product to a friend

Who exactly were the Founding Fathers, and why are they still such hot topics of debate? Why did they want to not only break away from England, but form a new and very different form of government? Just exactly what was the “Great Compromise” and what difference did it make?

AMERICAN GOVERNMENT is structured as a four-week study on CDROM, spending each week on key features, with lesson plans for each day of the study. There are reading and writing assignments (Read and Discover), spelling and vocabulary words (Words of Wisdom), biography and geography studies (People and Places to Know), and Family Projects. Favorite books and Internet sites are included in the lesson plans as well as a large resource collection of Internet sites for each week of study. Each day's lesson plan has been written on two levels. There is a daily lesson plan for Elementary Grades, and one for Upper Grades (Jr/Sr High). While materials are included for younger elementary grades, the topic of this study is typically more interesting to students in grades 4 and up. 125 pages, printable for your family's use.
