Systems of Government - 3.2 Benchmark EOC Exam

PowerPoint available at: www.teacherspa...
This lesson teaches students about the various systems of governments used by countries around the world: unitary, confederal, federal, and parliamentary. Students will look first at the confederal systems of government with examples such as the United States under the Articles of Confederation, the Confederacy of the South during the Civil War, and the European Union, as those who established weak central governments or unions in which the regional state powers maintain political power. The union of Belgium is provided as the current country currently using a confederal form of government. The United States, Argentina, Germany and India are among those countries used as examples for national governments who share power with regional states or provinces. Smaller countries such as Britain, France and Italy who have unitary forms of governments in which central governments hold the guide the entire country and delegate certain responsibilities to local countries are used as examples in this lesson. The students will gain an understanding how unlike these three systems of governments which describe which level of government holds power, the parliamentary systems is about the executive and legislative branches. Unlike the presidential system of choosing an executive, Great Britain is provided as the example in which Parliament chooses the executive or Prime Minister for the nation.
As this is Part I of a two-part lesson, the second part being"forms of government, such as Democracy and Monarchy, the review quiz is provided in the second video. Remember that the PowerPoint in this video as well as a variety of lesson plans and activities are available at Teachers Pay Teachers.
Mr. Raymond’s Civics E.O.C. Academy was designed for students taking the Florida Civics End-of-Course (EOC) Exam. However, as many states are implementing Civics Exams, these videos will work for all students of Civics, US Government, and US History. Currently students have to pass a civics state exam in order to graduate in Idaho, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Arizona, North Dakota, Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Utah. These videos look at all of the civics benchmarks that will be tested on most state civics exams.
As a civics teacher I have often looked for civics TH-cam video clips to show my students. I hope these videos will serve as a supplement to lessons for civics teachers, US history teachers, US government teachers and their students. While they might be a little basic for AP Government students, they could serve as a refresher of basic concepts and content. I have also thought that these videos could help those who are going to take the naturalization test to become US Citizens. I have also been reached by parents whose children are taking Florida Virtual School’s (FLVS) Civics class.
