Kari, our resident teacher, has identified ten
exceptional children's picture books which will engage students in
asking themselves important questions about what it means to be an
American and what both our rights and responsibilities are as Americans.
The picture books are not included with the core democratic values
lesson plans but are available at your library and at local or online
bookstores.

booklets in PDF format. You can download the files to your hard drive
and print copies of the teacher's information pages and duplicate
the Student Activities pages, documents, and worksheets for all of
your students. Use the Core Democratic Values lesson plans over and
over again each semester.
