[Music] hey everybody Welcome to the Wallock way I'm Jessica and today's video is going to be a look inside our US Government learning about America with curiosity and fun this unit study specifically uses six of our many units from the who what and where was books the ones included are what is the Declaration of Independence what is the Constitution what is a presidential election where is the White House what is Congress and what is the Supreme Court now you do not have to have these books but these are the ones that I suggest because they're the ones that the unit studies were specifically written for in the US government bundle you are going to find an overview and Sample lesson plan this gives you examples for 2 3 4 and 5 days a week and my suggestion for how to complete it a bonus mini unit which is an introduction to US Government so this is going to kind of introduce and set everything up before you dive into these and then like we just said you will get the mini unit for the Declaration of Independence what is the Constitution what is the president presidential election where is the White House what is Congress and what is the Supreme Court now if you are not sure what is included in each of these mini units that I've designed I'm going to show you an example using the presidential election So within each and every one of those mini units you're going to get this page which is our Resource page it gives you suggested books all with clickable links a YouTube playlist as well as a Pinterest board so this is going to be informational videos and this is going to be crafts and activities each has a clickable link as well as a scannable QR code additional recommended shows and videos and games and more resources so in this example the US government running for office how voting works and the electorial college there is also always a custom coloring page Kevin hand draws these for each and every one of our mini units and then there is copy work and three different levels so you have cursive print and tracing there's also a notebooking page included in this case it is what is the presidential election draw a picture and write a summary of what takes place during a presidential election sometimes if it's a person it's a biography sometimes if it is a location it's more geographical but there's always a notebooking page and then there are activity Pages here we have time to count the presidential votes so we are going to count the votes during the presidential election we have a presidential election word search with a corresponding answer key we have a presidential election cross word puzzle again with the corresponding answer key and then we have the timeline of the presidential election now what I love about these is you can have your child look it up and read research it for themselves or in the back of the what is books there is a timeline included so you can have them read and write directly from there and that can also serve as copy work we also always include a few games in each of our many units they include a trivia card game where there are 20 questions for you to cut out and quiz your child and then we include a timeline matching game where we put the date or the time frame and what happens so this one is a little more specific since it's not happening over a long period of time so like spring of the year before the election the candidates register with the Federal Election Commission to run for president in addition to each of the mini units having this I wanted there to be a few more things so I have included a presidential election game you will race to to become the next president it's very simple you roll the dice you move your little piece and then if you land on either a blue or red star there are questions that you would answer so there's different trivia questions here so like what is the main job of the judicial branch or what is the role of the Supreme Court in interpreting the Constitution and laws of the United States so these are going to be trivia based questions and a board game and these trivia questions we go over all of the mini units I also included a matching game so there is memory there are all the different um branches of government buildings historical documents just a fun way for your younger kids to have a game to play and participate and then I also wanted you to be able to have a mock election during your US Government unit study so I have included things for that posters for candidacy voter registration cards printables for making a Ballot Box actual voting ballots so everything you need to hold your own election at home [Music]
