Thank you teachers for all of your support!!!

Skip the history and get right to the Civics you will be tested on for your unit test/ state exam. No sense in learning things you won't see on your test. This review video covers: Identifying the different sections of the Declaration, the idea of Natural Rights and the Role of the Government, the most important grievances, the formal declaration at the end and information about the main author, Thomas Jefferson (and where he got his inspiration ( Hard core rebel John Locke)).

This video is designed for middle and high school level civics/government classes. I use these to teach, review for tests, or remediate after tests. Also used at the end of the year for EOC or final exam type state assessments. They can be done with guided instruction from the teacher or assigned individually (Works well with home connect or distance learning). Thanks for watching!
