American Government Grades 5-8

Dive into the fascinating realm of governments with the Classroom Complete Press "Governments" workbook series! Written to Common Core State Standards for literacy in Social studies, curriculum based activities are high-interest but low-vocabulary and perfect for struggling readers.

Student handouts include reading passages and activities; passages include "before you read" activities (which stimulate background knowledge and guide students to make connections) as well as "after you read" activities (which include comprehension/content questions as well as creative and evaluative short answer questions). Writing tasks, fun activities, a comprehension quiz, and five full-color mini-posters are also included.

The "easy marking" answer key features columns of answers that allow teachers to simply line up the worksheet with the key to quickly see the correct answers. An assessment rubric is also included.

This "American Governments" workbook covers different kinds of governments, the Constitution, the three branches of the Federal Government, checks and balances, how a bill becomes law, electing a government, and more.
