Adult Education Civics Resources

Have your student explore the largest hydroelectric power dam in the world located in China!

Students will explore the positives and negatives of solutions to China's environmental issues. Your student will be engaged and intrigued by the details surrounding the Three Gorges Dam through this motivating Asia geography mini-lesson. This lesson teaches beyond the facts about the Three Gorges Dam and will encourage higher-level thinking, along with teamwork to lead students to understand the triumphs (benefits) & tragedies (costs) of China's Three Gorges Dam.

China's government believed it would solve many of its pollution, flooding, trading, transportation, and energy problems, but over time, China's government realized it also led to tragedy for many Chinese citizens. This lesson will make a great impact and help your students explore the geographical, economic, and social aspects of Chinese culture surrounding the Three Gorges Dam.

This final exam tests not only higher level social studies skills but students content knowledge in the American Revolution, Elections, Local State and Federal Government, The Legislative Branch, The Executive Branch, Judicial Branch, and Comparative Government. This is a great resource if you are in need of a government exam or just want to boost yours.

Since we are all new to these standards and new tests and there are not many resources available, I have tried to provide more practice problems for us all to use to help our students succeed!

This file contains 2 LARGE Common Core Civics EOC practice tests. All problems are created based on those released by the state of Florida. Each sheet allows space for students to practice locating important information, show their work, and write their answer. Some are multiple choice to provide practice for the EOC's multiple choice responses, but they must also explain their answer choice. Answer Keys are included along with each test. This is a strong way to test your students knowledge and growth throughout the year if you would like to use it as a Baseline, Mid-year, and Final. You could also use it as a practice test before their EOC. Maybe as a resource for collecting that data that your admin keeps asking for. The tests are large, so maybe printing a class set and having students use an answer sheet to save money, time and paper, would be a great use of this resource.

Teacher burnout begone!!! You AND your students will love this fun activity! Perfect as icebreakers for those in-between days during back to school when you don't have anything planned. This Four Corners Mini Debate Activity is a great no-prep activity that you can use any time of year for a fun, engaging activity that your students will LOVE!

Students will love moving around the room as you click through the 35 debatable topics - mostly controversial, but some are silly as well! This is perfect for middle school/high school, but teachers are encouraged to preview the statements and skip over any which you feel are too controversial for your student population. (I definitely stayed away from the most controversial topics).

►You will love this well-organized activity that allows students to voice their opinions, defend their positions, and even learn something new!

►The printable Reflection Sheet will allow them to reflect on the ideas presented, and asks them to discuss two issues that they may have changed their stance on after the debate and the reasons why. This is an activity I use in my classroom every year and I know your students will love it!

***CHECK OUT THE PREVIEW FOR FULL DETAILS!***

INCLUDED WITH YOUR PURCHASE:

• 35 Statements (Google Slides)

• Includes a Blank Editable Slide

• 5 Printable Classroom Signs

• Student Reflection Sheet

STUDENT GUIDELINES FOR USING THIS RESOURCE:

►If you agree with the statement, move to the side of the room labeled “Agree” or “strongly agree.” If you disagree, move to the side of the room labeled, “Disagree” or “strongly disagree.” If you’re not sure how you feel about the topic yet, move to the side of the room labeled, “Undecided.” (I typically have "undecided" students stand in the middle and hang the other posters in the four corners of the room.)

***Students should be prepared to defend their position even if they’re undecided.
