How do you truly engage students in learning social studies? When students make personal connections to the subject they're studying, they're much more motivated to learn. This set introduces students to civics topics such as US government, diplomacy, US monuments, and the Constitution. Each nonfiction book features vivid, engaging photos and grade-appropriate text. Bold font, primary sources, side bars, a glossary, and a table of contents are some of the text features that will build students' reading skills. Facilitate civics discourse in the classroom or at home by equipping students with the vocabulary and content-area knowledge they need to achieve civic competence and become 21st century citizens. Titles include: Diplomacy Makes a Difference, Our Government: The Three Branches, Our Nation's Capital: Washington, DC, The U.S. Constitution and You, You and the U.S. Government.
