The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Citizenship and Representative Governments:
In this experience, students review the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution. Then they consider what citizenship is and explore the rights and responsibilities that are part of U.S. citizenship. Next, they research and then compare and contrast the rights and responsibilities of citizens in another country with those in the U.S. Finally, students choose what they think the most important rights and responsibilities should be for “global citizenship.” Objectives:
Has anyone in your family or household ever said, “Everyone has a responsibility to help out”? Maybe you were asked to take out the garbage, help with a chore, or care for something at home.
Citizens in representative societies also have responsibilities. But citizenship is not only about what people are expected to do. Citizens also have rights that shape how they can participate in society and how they are treated.
In this experience, you will explore both rights and responsibilities and compare the role of citizens in the United States with the role of citizens in other countries.
