A consumable, combined text and workbook for The American Civics Curriculum. Each lesson has four sessions, with an optional fifth. The student reads the chapter in The Forgotten Realm at home, then works through the lesson here with the teacher: guided questions, the Declaration and the Constitution read and marked paragraph by paragraph, and assignments that send him out into his own city and county.
By the end of the course he has filled in his own U.S. Civic Address and Civic Roster: his precinct, his districts and courts, and every official who represents him, from school board to Supreme Court.
From your own address to the national government
Starting local and moving outwards. Every lesson follows the matching chapter of The Forgotten Realm.
