American Democracy Now

American Democracy Now has critical thinking at its core. The program guides students through the process of understanding American government with an analytical lens of "Then, Now, Next," e.g., How does what happened Then and what is happening Now shape what is coming Next? Focusing on showing students how to critically think about their political world, American Democracy Now offers five critical thinking elements: Political Inquiry, Critical Thinking About Democracy, Analyzing Sources, Critical Comparisions, and Critical Thinking. Guiding students through individualized learning plans and giving teachers assessment tools to ensure student understanding, American Democracy Now replicates a one-on-one learning environment. With relevant interactivities for each of the concrete learning objectives, the text challenges students to apply their content knowledge and analyze American government through the "Then, Now, Next" lens. - Publisher.
