 Trek
Across America: A Game to Teach American History and Government by Cindy
Slovacek. This is a sort of trivia game for students in grades 6-9 to review basic facts
about American history and government. As students answer questions correctly, they move
to and label an adjoining state on their blank outline map. The grand winner is the first
player to visit all 50 states, and that can be pretty tricky if you have to travel through
several already labeled states more than once, since players can only travel to states
next to wherever they are when they answer the questions. Answer key is included. There
are 204 questions in all. There are also18 Adventure cards that contain historical facts
and enable students to follow directions to go to a specified state. BTH-206. $13.46-D
 U.S.
Government: The Constitution, The Presidency by Ron Wheeler.
Instructional Fair, 2001. For grades 5-8. This book supports NCSS Standards. 128
pages. This reproducible book provides for a very thorough study of the
Constitution and government at all levels -- National, state, local, and even
school. Many of the worksheets are open-ended to allow for students to think
critically about issues where people differ in their opinions. Many make sure
the students delve into the Constitution itself and other sources to find
factual answers. Almost half the book is devoted to presidential pages with
pictures, biographical sketches, and a presidential timeline. These pages can be
reproduced to use in making a time line, and for playing various suggested game
and activities related to the presidents. I highly recommend this for use with
gifted children, but it will also meet the needs of those teaching regular
classes and home education students. BTH-3377. $11.69-D

and Other Important Documents
 A
More Perfect Union: The Story of Our Constitution by Betsy and Giulio.
When America declared its independence in 1776, the young republic was far from being
united states. This book shows the reader how 55 men and the Constitution they created in
1787 laid the foundation for a struggling new government to become strong. The large
picture book format makes the story our country's birth and early years understandable to
children as young as four and will hold the interest of older primary children as well.
Beautifully illustrated in color. At the back are brief summaries of the articles of the
Constitution and its amendments. There is also a table of dates, a list of signers, and
some interesting facts about the convention and its delegates. $7.15-D

the People: Exploring the U.S. Constitution
by Charlotte Jaffe and Barbara Roberts. Published by Educational Impressions for
grades 4-9. This 96-page reproducible book introduces the history behind the
Constitution and the story of its creation, including what went on behind
the scenes as various issues were discussed by the delegates. It then covers the
content of the Constitution, and profiles its framers. This section is followed

series of critical and creative thinking activities that help reinforce what has
been learned. At the very end is a list of selected resources for both children
and adults, including films. Cat. . BTH-31. $12.56-D.
Cornerstones of Freedom
books: These books explore important events in United States history. They are
designed to make children 8-12 feel they are on the scene as history is being made. This
is accomplished not only by the text, which is at grade 3-4 reading level, but also by the
two-color illustrations, full-color and black-and-white photos, and engravings. Keep in
mind that these books are published by a secular company and will not usually point out
the Christian background in the subjects they cover. Books are 32 pages long with index.

 Our Living
Constitution: Then and Now, Second Edition
by Jerry Aten, Good Apple,
2002. For grades 5-8. This book is a great resource for teaching students
exactly what is contained in the Declaration of Independence and The
Constitution of the United States in language they can understand. Not only does
it contain the complete text of these documents in the original, it also
contains a modern paraphrase of each, which remains true in meaning to the
original, in a column next to it, paragraph for paragraph. So for each page of
document, you have one column in the original wording and next to it the modern
language. There are also pages that give the historical background for each
document and the reason each was written. After each section, there are
exercises which help students recall and think about what they have read. There
are also helpful charts and diagrams to help students visualize such things as
how a bill becomes a law and the three branches of government. At the back of
the book is a trivia games students can play to review what they have learned.
Reproducible for classroom use. I like this book because it remains true to the
text instead of putting things in the paraphrases that aren't really there. This
is a great book for teaching civics and American Government. I didn't learn much
more than this in my college Political Science course on American Government.
Once you learn the Constitution, you've got it. 172 pages. BTH-3893

criminal and civil law with cases that mirror situations in literature -- Miss

Supreme Court Decisions: Scenarios, Simulations, and Activities for
Understanding and Evaluating 14 Landmark Court Cases by Jeffrey D.
Stocks. Prufrock Press, 2008. This book is one that I'm excited about. When I
remember how we learned about just a few landmark cases in my high school
history class -- with only about a paragraph devoted each in a history textbook,
I think how much more would have stuck with me had the cases been taught as they
are in this book. This book for students in grades 7-12 presents 14 exciting
real-life Supreme Court Cases in a way that will engage student interest. There
are two parts to the presentations. In the first, the background of the case is
presented in story form. This is followed by some discussion questions to
involve the students in evaluating the facts and thinking through the case as a
judge might. The second part tells what happened in the actual case when it got
to the Supreme Court, and some of the implications of those decisions as they
affect us today. The book takes students through 14 landmark cases
including Dred Scott v. Sanford, Plessy v. Ferguson, Brown v. Board of
Education, Mapp v. Ohio, Miranda v. Arizona, New Jersey v. T.L.O., and more. I
can't think of a better way to introduce students to the importance of the
Supreme Court and their decisions. 101 pages. BTH-4530. $17.96-D
Whatever Happened to Justice? This should be must reading for
all those who think character doesn't matter as long as the economy is good. In this book
Mr. Maybury explores America's legal heritage and explains the two kinds of law -- the
higher law and man-made or political law. He shows how substituting the latter for the
former causes the economy to suffer. He also explains two laws on which all major
religions and philosophies agree that are the basis of our common law. When politicians
make laws that displace this common law, it wrecks havoc with the economy.
In his attempt to define the role of government and how to approach unsolved problems
in our society, Mr. Maybury enters some controversial territory. You may or may not agree
with his ideas on capital punishment, illegal drugs, the environment, war, poverty, and
other hot topics. But Mr. Maybury provides a framework for discussing them and explaining
and defending your own values as they relate to these topics. 256 pages.

 Money
Sense for Kids! Second Edition by Hollis Page Harman. Barron's, 2004.
Updated with new illustrations of new-issue currency, new information, and other
new features. This book explains all the average child of school age might
wonder about money and investing -- where money comes from, how to save it, how
to make it earn more money, how to open a bank account and use an ATM card, how
to write checks, and even some money games to play. This book can be used as a
basic consumer education text for the middle grades and junior high ages, but it
falls somewhat short as a consumer math book because the math part is explained,
but there aren't pages of exercises. This explains the how and why and what's
smart and not smart in handling money, but it's not full of word problems and
calculations to do. 180 pages. My present supply of these books fell from the
shelf to the floor and there is almost unnoticeable damage to the covers, just
enough for me to lower the price a bit to compensate. They will go back to the
