Civics

​

Welcome to United States Government & Civics

​

The goal of this course is to foster informed, responsible participation in public life. Knowing how to be a good citizen is essential to the preservation and improvement of the United States. At the end of this semester, you will understand the major ideas, protections, rights, structures, and economic systems that affect the life of a citizen in the United States.

​

Additionally, each student (8th grade only) will have the opportunity to take the U.S. Citizenship test, which is a requirement to graduate from High School in the state of Utah. This course will be the best way to help you prepare for the test.

​

In my classes, I utilize Canvas to post what we do in class each day as well as post copies of the assignments given that day. This means if you are absent from class you will need to check Canvas to see what you need to complete. I do my best to have Canvas updated each day, I typically will have this done no later than the end of the school day, so please be patient.

Supplies:

In our class, we will be doing a lot of reading and writing, be prepared! Make sure you bring with you to class something to write with and something to take notes on. It is not my responsibility to provide these for you.
