Civics:

An Interactive Approach

Civics, a nationally distributed product, is being newly released, encased in a state-of-the-art intuitive Web-based interface that it shares with WorldView's other highly acclaimed products. With each user possessing his or her own account, students will enjoy learning from this interactive, workbook-style product wherever they have access to the Internet, either at home or in school – their work securely stored and easily retrieved "from the cloud."

This middle school program explores the components of American government, the factors that affect our political system, and the individual's responsibility as a citizen.
