Exploring Economics

All about Our Government

Does the prospect of a semester of studying government set your child's feet to dancing? Mine neither. But in many states a semester is required for graduation, and as painful as it may seem, a complete understanding of government will have greater impact on your students than a comparable understanding of calculus.

Exploring Government from the Notgrass Company is as painless as it gets. Bite sized lessons cover federal, state, and local government, as well as contemporary issues in government. Special emphasis is placed on the Biblical basis for government and on the U.S. Constitution.

Busy moms will be glad to know that Exploring Government is designed as a self study course for teens with seventy five engaging lessons divided into fifteen units of five lessons each. Suggestions for relevant activities often include writing an essay–groan. But if your child is college bound and without other writing activities, doing these assignments may be valuable in crystallizing on paper his or her opinions and possible applications. Better yet, use these suggested activities as a springboard for discussions around the dinner table or with your community group.

The Exploring Government curriculum package includes two books: the Exploring Government textbook with material clearly outlined as to the student's daily and weekly assignments, and We Hold These Truths, a collection of historic documents, essays, and speeches in American government. Both books are illustrated with black and white photos, drawings, and maps. In addition, there is an optional Quiz and Exam Pack that has review questions for each lesson, weekly quizzes, three exams, and an answer key. If you need accountability, grab one of these. The Exploring Government curriculum package is appropriate for any high schooler or anyone else who desires a better grasp of U.S. government.
