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 ever said to you, “As a member of this family, you have a responsibility to help out”? Maybe you were being asked to take out the garbage or to watch a younger sibling. Countries—not just families—ask their citizens to help the country run by taking up certain responsibilities. You will learn about these responsibilities in this experience.
