What educators are saying
Description
This "flipped classroom" Civics and Government curriculum is perfect for Distance Learning! It includes video lessons that cover everything your students need to know for the American Government course, with guided notes or a graphic organizer for each!
Flipped classroom is a strategy in which students watch an instructional video at home and do the typical "homework" in class, where the teacher can provide more guidance. It's a great strategy to cut back on lectures and save more time for projects, primary source analysis, and other engaging in-class activities.

The guided notes worksheets are perfectly matched up with the videos so that students can take brief notes on the key concepts from each video. Some include interactive notebook-style graphic organizer options in addition to the outline notes as well.
A directions page includes the link to a private video playlist on YouTube as well as several recommended strategies on how to use the videos in your classroom.
