Armed with information and a deep understanding of their issue, students shift into action mode in this step by writing an action plan for “moving the needle” on their issue. They learn how to write an objective, identify action steps, and anticipate challenges and necessary resources. A “Move-the-Needle Toolbox” gives them a list of resources for communicating and gathering support.
This resource was created with support from the National Association of Counties.

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.
