This Civics Interactive Notebook Cover: American Government & Civics Back to School Activity is an ideal first week back to school activity for your middle school Civics or American Government class! With two title options (“Civics” and “American Government” and two size options (8.5 x 11″ for spiral notebook and binders, 6.5 x 8.5″ for composition books), you can choose exactly what will work best for your students. A black-and-white version is included for students to color in (a fun, print-and-go stations activity for the first day of school!), as well as a full color version you can use for your teacher binder!
This notebook cover is full of hints at the Civics or American Government curriculum to come, including images from the Three Branches of Government, Bill of Rights, the fight for Civil Rights and Voting Rights, and icons of American Government like George Washington, the Statue of Liberty, a dove of peace, stars and, of course, the American flag. A perfect print-and-go activity for the first week back to school!
In this Civics Interactive Notebook Cover Back to School Activity, I’ve included a few different options to choose from:
✯ Two Title Options. I’ve included both “Civics” and “American Government” as title options, depending on what your class is called!
✯ Two Cover Options: I’ve included a black-and-white version for students to color in themselves, as well as a full color version for your teacher binder!
✯ Two Size Options: The full-page cover is 8.5×11” and can be slid into a binder cover or glued onto a spiral notebook. I’ve also included a 6.5×8.5”option that fits a standard size composition book.
Use this cover to start your Civics or American Government interactive notebook! This can be added to your back-to-school stations, assigned as homework, or saved for emergency sub plans! Students will love getting to be a little creative as they make their binder covers their own, and the images will hint at the curriculum they’ll be learning about this year!
I hope you enjoy this resource and that your students love their notebooks!
