"I used this as part of my 10th-grade civic class for our political parties and elections unit. I like that it includes the materials in order of suggested use, along with a variety of notes, independent activities, group work, projects, and a test. I used almost everything in the set, including the notes and slides, the political spectrum questionnaire, and the digital interactive notebook slides. I can always count on Students of History to make quality products!" - Hayley B.
