StudySpace
This free website engages students through interactive learning, helping them hone critical and analytical thinking skills as they review principles from the text.
The carefully planned structure of this site uses contemporary pedagogical techniques designed to develop and strengthen your students’ study habits. The site is organized into 3 parts: Organize, Learn and Connect.
Organize: the student is presented with material to help them mentally prepare to tackle the chapter material. This material gets the student thinking energetically before they read the chapter so that they will engage it better.
- Chapter Summaries give students an overview of the issues the chapter will explore.
- Preview Quizzes ask students general knowledge questions related to the chapter topic, with the aim of getting the student to begin thinking actively about the chapter from the moment they begin reading.
Learn: these exercises encourage the student to investigate and learn by doing.
- “You Decide” exercises, following the topics found in the Policy Debate boxes for each chapter, use media sources to get students to think critically about important contemporary issues.
- “Interactive Politics” simulations offer hands-on experience in how government works through entertaining role-playing games.
Connect: here the student is asked to apply what they learned, whether by seeing how the principles discussed in the chapter are played out in the world around them, or by using their knowledge to directly participate in political activity. Students are also asked to test their grasp of the material they read by using Diagnostic Quizzes and Flash Cards.
- Vocabulary flash cards allow students to test their knowledge of important terms and concepts.
- “Get Involved” exercises encourage student participation in politics by showing students ways in which their participation can directly affect political situations.
- “What Government Does” exercises help students see how the day-to-day activities of government affect them personally.
- Politics in the News offers a weekly posting of articles tied to material covered in the book.
- Diagnostic Quizzes provide a graphical score that shows students which material in the text they most need to review.
- Chapter Reviews allow students to quickly review what they have read and help them identify the most important topics in each chapter.
