This kit perfectly bridges the gap between seating charts logistics and your first unit, by having students both get to know you and your Civics course.

And with 6 ready-to-go stations, you’ll be able to cross “What do to the first day or two?” right off your growing to-do list.

6 Included Station Activities:

• Purpose of Government — post various quotes by prominent people on the purpose of government for students to examine and respond
• Syllabus — post your syllabus for students to explore and ask questions
• Who’s Who? — post a collection of portraits of various government officials for students to test their incoming knowledge
• Letter to My Teacher — post your welcome letter to students to read and respond with their own
• What’s Going On? — post a collection of government in action events for students to test their incoming knowledge
• U.S. Citizenship Test — post a sample set of US Naturalization Test questions for students to test their incoming knowledge to see if they’d pass
