Auburn, AL Grades 9-12

I teach American Government to a highly diverse group of seniors, who wish to experience government in a hands-on manner.

My students desire an interactive and realistic learning environment to study current governmental issues, which is difficult to provide with limited teacher instructional funds.

My students will take part in a National Security Council simulation revolving around a hypothetical Middle East Crisis. Each student will adopt a specific role in government, but they need background materials on both their roles and the scenario. I want to produce security briefings styled after those used in the White House, but I need paper, binders, and tabs to produce these for all of my students.

Your help will ensure that my students will be able to "experience" government in a relevant manner that helps expand their knowledge of current issues.
