Ar Web Sites: You Be the Judge
The Michigan Epic people
have put together a great interactive site for you and your students to use.
One of my favorite activities is entitled “You Be The Judge”.
“This is an interactive threaded storybook for elementary students that
teaches core democratic values such as Pursuit of Happiness, Private Property
Rights, and other Constitutional Rights. Help the kids decide how best keep a
treasured tree that is in danger of being cut down. Your students can make
several decisions throughout the story, which will affect the final outcome.
There are several other interactive lessons to choose from. Macomb ISD: Social Studies Write a Super Citizenship Newsletter
In this lesson your kids
will find examples of citizenship in their community newsletter and then put
together a class newsletter recognizing good citizens in their school. Lesson Plans by Teachers
At this site you will find
assessments, lesson plans, and electronic articles that cover the core
democratic values. If you are
looking for some activities to use with your students this is the place. A Bibliography of Children's Literature for Teaching Core Democratic Values This bibliography lists book titles and the relevant core democratic values they can teach.
