Our unit on civics was quick, but hopefully you got some great ideas
about how we can teach about government, the "office of the citizen,"
how deliberation fits into this all ("what should we do?"), and what the
Michigan civics course looks like.
Note that while our unit
focused in particular on mock trial, we can imagine doing mock townhall
assemblies, legislatures, senate committee hearings, model UN, moot
courts, and presidential cabinet meetings (Atomic Bomb, Cuban Missile Crisis, etc.). We'll get some more great ideas from each other as we go
through our microteaching next week.
Here is the mini mock trail manual from which I am pulling our course--it's a great resource,
so you will want to keep it handy.
