New Unit: Citizenship

We have started a new unit in our class: citizenship. It is based around the "Citizenship Handbook" in our textbooks, but I am integrating current news into our instruction to make these topics relevant to the students. 
Online resources: 
Kid-friendly news: www.channelone.com
Textbook Online: **site to be updated**

Each student should have a calendar of the unit and a concept map that covers the key concepts. The summative for this unit will be Friday, November 7-- right after the elections!
