Graphic Organizers
- CHARACTER COUNTS includes the six pillars of character (i.e., Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship). Have students, either working with a partner or in a small group, graphically organize each of these pillars, listing as many characteristics of each pillar as they can think of or find through research.
- Have students create a mind map for each of the branches of government (legislative, executive, and judicial) that includes officials and their duties.
- Have students create a flow chart either on tagboard or electronically on How a Bill Becomes a Law using the following sites for guidance:
- Have students draw a diagram showing their understanding of how separation of powers and checks and balances work.
- Have students create a mind map including officials and their duties for state, county, city, and tribal governments.
