mereminerals Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I am thinking about covering US Government for 6th grade. Are there any must reads that you have used? This might be also used for a co-op class, but that is undecided at this time. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I am not sure if you mean civics. If you are considering teaching civics, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor founded this website to educate school children about civics. http://www.icivics.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorMom Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 We used American Government: Freedom, Rights, and Responsibilities. I thought it was great for 5th/6th/7th grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mereminerals Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Thank you both for the information. I will be checking them both out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'm using "Painless American Government" by Jeffery Stausser for my 7th grader. It is short and to the point but does a decent job covering the basics. It is a supplement to our regular history program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
