    covers the need for and purpose of government, how American citizens participate, the concepts
    of justice and fairness, and the meaning and application of justice. Also examined are the issues
    of responsibility, tolerance, and respect for others.

    Essential Questions

    constitutional government across the grades?
    Why are government and rules necessary for a properly functioning society?
    What is our individual and collective responsibility to the effective working of the American
    system?
    In how many ways can American citizens play a role in our political system?
    How and why are diversity and tolerance important to us as American citizens?
    How can we teach our students to respect themselves and others?

    Teaching Resources

    The Center for Civic Education (5146 Douglas Fir Road, Calabasas, CA 91302) is a major source
    for curriculum materials in all aspects of civic education. The web link is www.abc.net.au/civics.
    A wide range of resources are listed for teaching civics and citizenship.

    Assessment

    Students work in cooperative groups to make a list of classroom rules. The class comes to
    consensus on the rules. A committee develops a poster of rules to hang in the .classroom. A
    group of students are selected as judges. Students have alternate turns serving as judges. When
    a student breaks one of the rules, the classroom judges decide on the consequences and ensure
    the student complies with the decision. If a student has gone before the judges, he/she is not
    eligible to be a judge.
