Parents and Students,
We have just celebrated Freedom Week and will now continue to learn about Government. There is a lot to cover, so I will divide the activities up into groups so that you will be able to identify how the activities relate to our lessons in class. The TEKS for this lesson require that a student be able to identify how the Texas Constitution supports principles such as checks and balances, federalism, limited government, etc. The TEKS for this lesson also require that a student be able describe the structure and functions of government at municipal, county, and state levels.
This game deals with Budgeting. If you have ever wanted to make your community a better place to live, play this game to make decisions about the programs and services that affect the people in your community.
Argument Wars
Argument Wars is a great simulation game that allows students to pick a real court case, argue that case, and whoever has the best argument, wins. Have fun with this one!!
