American Democracy Now ISE EPUB

The political landscape in America is shifting rapidly, making American Democracy Nows clear presentation of national government and politicswith 2022 electoral resultsand the importance of political participation more valuable than ever. The authors focus on developing the critical thinking skills necessary for a democracy, through features such as the Then/Now/Next paradigm, showing learners how the past is relevant to today and into the future; Analyzing the Sources and Evaluating the Facts to guide the interpretation of data, images, maps, and primary sources; and Thinking Critically, a debate feature that presents multiple sides of an issue so students can develop and defend their own positions. A unique chapter on Politics and Technology teaches students to critically assess media messages. And American Democracy Now is the only text to feature an annotated Constitution, so students can engage meaningfully with this foundational and oft-invoked document of our democracy.
