This self paced program in American Civics is for the ninth grade student who needs extra assistance, who has experienced learning difficulties in the past, and who definitely plans to enroll in a high school vocational course. The instructional materials written at an elementary reading level consist of six Learning Activity Packages (LAPs) covering the following topics: What is Citizenship, The Local Government, State and Federal Government, Finding a Job and Getting Along with People, Spending Your Money Wisely, and Your Environment. Each LAP is divided into several broad, topic sections containing statements of behavioral objectives followed by activities, worksheets, self evaluation tests, and advanced study projects. The introduction to the course advises students of the requirements for its successful completion. (Author/JH)
