Civics Collection

Cultivate civic-mindedness and student-led inquiry

Show your students what it means to take action

Active Classroom’s Civics Collection helps students examine the  influences of civic engagement and social movements over time. 

Lessons that meet your standards

With the Civics Collection students examine the structure and function of the United States government and its relationship to states and citizens. Each lesson in the collection includes detailed teaching notes and the C3 dimension that’s addressed. Teach an entire lesson or choose the parts that map to your standards.

Bring civics to life with cool tools

Students can zoom in to analyze images and documents, choose from 30 languages to translate text, and much more. Active Classroom’s built-in tools help students build essential skills, from critical thinking to primary and secondary source analysis to compare and contrast. 

Auto-graded quizzes? Yes!

You choose which quiz to assign students, and Active Classroom automatically grades each one for you. You can also easily assign lessons, track student progress, and give feedback from the easy-to-use teacher dashboard. 

The Active Classroom platform integrates with Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, and ClassLink. Ask us about other LMS.

We're at the ready to answer your questions about our Government and Civics Collection.
