Class Description:
According to the 2017-2018 course catalog, Civics will focus on our nation’s multi-level governmental systems including the organization and function of our national, state, as well as local governments. Civics is designed to introduce the values and practices of our democratic government. In particular, a highlight is placed on how the federal government operates within the three branches of government and how our government has impacted society through historical examples. In addition, Civics will require a variety of projects as well as a cross-curriculum field trip.
