The New Jersey State Bar Foundation’s three blogs are great resources for teachers who are teaching remotely during the Covid-19 virus crisis.
The posts on all three blogs—The Informed Citizen, The Legal Eagle Lowdown & The Respect Rundown—contain discussion questions and relevant glossary words for ready-made lesson plans that start a conversation. Written in plain language, these posts help students better understand the subject matter and enhance class discussion.
On The Informed Citizen, our civics blog, we’ve covered more than 25 civics-relate topics, including democratic norms, origins of political parties, equal justice under the law, primaries & caucuses and impeachment.
Posts are added to The Informed Citizen periodically throughout the school year. Subscribe to The Informed Citizen and we will send you an email advising when a new post has been added.
