Both instructive and thought-provoking, it will inspire teachers to craft curricula addressing a wide range of genuine civic problems such as those related to racial discrimination, environmental damage, and community health.  Dividing civic literacy projects into three key phases - problem identification, problem exploration, and action - the author provides concrete examples from upper-elementary, middle, and high school classrooms to illustrate and analyze how each phase can unfold. The projects ultimately provide opportunities for youth to participate in civic life while they develop essential literacy skills associated with reading, writing, and speaking. The final chapter outlines a curriculum design process that will result in coherent and meaningful civic literacy projects driven by clear goals.  It includes practical tools, such as a sample unit timeline, an assessment chart, and student worksheets that can be modified for immediate use.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Teachers College Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52551813005592,"sku":"9780807755754","price":30.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/teaching-civic-literacy-projects-student-engagement-with-social-problems-grades-4-12-paperback-softback-9780807755754","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
