Course Description
The Government summer offering is written for students in grades 9-12 and will provide an introductory look at the major aspects of government that every American citizen should know. Students will become familiar with the major institutions, groups, and political beliefs in the American governmental system. A major focus will be on stimulating an interest and passion in the subject of government, with the idea of becoming an educated and involved civic citizen in an increasingly complex world.



All class materials and assignments are online so you do not have to lug a heavy backpack, pencils, or books to class. The course is just a mouse click away.



Please note that because this course is eight weeks in duration, and students are expected to work approximately ten hours per week, the course will therefore not cover a full year's curriculum with the same depth that is covered in a year-long course.



By the end of the summer session the student will be able to:

Understand how the Constitution embodies the purposes, values, and principles of democracy in the United States Government today.

Critically examine the idea of “Separation of Powers.”

Examine a crucial, politically charged topic from opposing sides.

Explain the role media plays in shaping the political conscious of the United States.

Understand what the roles of an effective citizen are in a democratic society.
