Read. Think. Color. A long textbook chapter can lose a student by the second page. This Civics coloring book teaches in short pieces instead. Each lesson page pairs a few small readings with pictures to color, so students have something to do with their hands while they think about what they just read. Students learn how American government works, where their rights come from, and what citizens can do. What's inside: • 13 units, from U.S. facts and symbols to foreign affairs • The founding documents, the Constitution, and the three branches of government • Rights and freedoms, citizenship, and American law • Politics, voting, elections, interest groups, and the media • A glossary, reading checks, and picture assessment for every unit • Answer key in the back with sample answers Made for homeschool families. Every unit follows the same simple routine: read a little, color a little, and think it through. The answer key in the back has sample answers, so you can check the work without being a civics expert. Use it as your homeschool civics and government course for grades 6–12, or alongside the curriculum you already use. Teachers and tutors use it too, as a different way into the same content for students who need one. It's a great fit for artsy, fidgety, or hard-to-engage students who learn best with something in their hands. Grades 6–12. 200 pages. Colored pencils or crayons work best; markers may show through the page. Created by Learned Lessons, built by a former principal and curriculum developer who still teaches students online.
