Civics Education

Public education must be certain all students understand their rights and responsibilities of being an American citizen. Civics lessons are included in classrooms K-12 and include teaching students to respect the rights of others, to obey rules and laws and to exercise the right to vote in elections.  The EL Civics web site provides lessons for use in K-12 classrooms and especially for ESL students. Lessons include handouts, reading selections, photos, and PowerPoint presentations.  Topics include, but are not limited to 13 Original Colonies, Political Parties, Civil War, and famous Americans.
