Teacher+Resources

Teacher Resources [|The Democracy Project] This website serves as a great resource for further extension of this weeks activities. The website is especially useful during election periods and can be manipulated for use during in-class or in-school elections.

[|Test Designer] This website serves as a great resource for creating original tests and quizzes specific to the material that students have learned. The site is easy to use and offers templates for numerous subjects and varying grade levels.

[|Ben's Guide to U.S. Government for Kids] This website is very useful! Students, with enough direction, should be able to navigate through the web links. The site is very animated despite there being no audio files. The only factor that I did not favor was the amount of writing that the students are required to read when reviewing the links. The website also provides links to other websites, gasmes, and a glossary for students to further their knowledge.

[|The Constitution for Kids] This website is a good resource to use as an aid in preparing the introductory material for students ranging from Kindergarten through twelfth grade. It also serves as a great refresher or quick review for students when studying the more complex aspects of government.

[|Online Sunshine: The Florida Constitution] This is just the text of the Florida Constitution uploaded online with the 1968 revisions.

[|3rd Grade Social Studies SOL Resources] This website would rate a 6/10. It is a nice site to visit in the event that a teacher would like to explore games, study guides, colored flashcards, Power Points and webpages. It is a nice site to visit to get crafty ideas for students to use/create.

[|Constitution Activities - We the People] This website is a good tool when searching for hands-on activities for students in regards to the United States Constitution. The site also hosts resources for external links for a more in-depth search for activities.

[|My Florida] This is the direct website to the Florida government. This website may be used if students are going to look further into the Florida government individually and can be used as a branch out activity for them to understand the differences between the different levels of government.
