In this mini-lesson, students explore where news and information come from and how the media can shape people’s public policy views. Students also compare news coverage among conservative, liberal, and neutral media outlets.

I find the materials so engaging, relevant, and easy to understand – I now use iCivics as a central resource, and use the textbook as a supplemental tool. The games are invaluable for applying the concepts we learn in class. My seniors LOVE iCivics.
