| Program Description | Think your class understands the workings of the United States Government? In this game show style presentation we’ll test and review your students’ knowledge of the origins, structure, and responsibilities of our government. We’ll test their knowledge of the documents that defined the foundations of our government and see how the three branches of government come together to govern our country. This presentation serves as an excellent means of introducing your students to the workings of government and also serves as a means of review for those classes that have recently completed lessons in government. Classes will be split into three teams with each team having the opportunity to select a question category of their choice per turn. We offer two banks of questions of varying difficulty for teachers to choose from depending on grade level. Teachers will also have the opportunity to submit their own questions in our Teacher’s Choice category. Test your class’s knowledge of government by scheduling So You Know the U.S. Government | |
