His 1210 H Civics Honors

His 1210 H Civics Honors

BySusan Tatsui-D'Arcy

Merit’s comprehensive Civics course introduces students to civics, politics, and government. They will examine the history and changing interpretations of seminal documents such as the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and will learn about the structure, foundations, and relationships of all levels and branches the U.S. government. To temper raw idealism with first-hand experience and real-life situations, students will attempt to initiate political change by proposing a local, state, or national initiative or joining a campaign. Students conduct a project, write a formal research paper, intern with a politician, read a variety of newspapers and magazines, read a contemporary book on current politics, and watch films that portray politics in action (historical and fictional). At the end of the trimester, the students tour the state capitol or Washington, DC. They will come away from the class with an understanding of both the rights and the responsibilities of American citizens.
