The lesson discusses investigative reading and offers strategies for staying organized when faced with a large amount of information from different sources. Students choose an organization and note-taking method that will work for them and compile as much information as they can about their issue, organized by sub-topic.

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.
