Re: [LM_NET] Have you used the How Government Works Series?

["Rienti, Beth" <bethrienti@WPCSD.K12.NY.US>]

Hello all,

 

Does anyone have experience with the "How Government Works" series of
books.  It includes titles such as:

 

A Balancing Act: A Look at Checks and Balances

Declaring Freedom: A Look at the Declaration of Independence, Bill of
Rights, and the Constitution

Friendly Foes: A Look at Political Parties etc...

 

I am wondering what your opinions are on these books.  I have a 5th
grade teacher suggesting them, but I am not sure if they are a good
choice.  If not, does anyone have suggestions for the government
processes to use at the elementary level?

 

Thanks in advance.
