GOVERNMENT - Governmental Forms Through Literature

Learn about government by reading good books!  Animal Farm by  George Orwell,  Fahrenheit 451 by  Ray Bradbury, Freedom Factor by Gerald Lund, and The Giver by Louis Lowry are on the list. (I’m going to do my best to find books available on Audible.)  We will use the government forms illustrated in the books to learn how to recognize the governmental forms in the world today. We will also rewrite the US Constitution in our own words; study multiple documents and do lots of simulations and activities.
