Social studies ideas stick best when students reason through real examples. This set gives your Grade 6-8 class ninety questions on local government.

Students will answer questions such as "What is a key function of school boards within local government?", "What is a primary duty of a school board member?", and "How can school boards assess the effectiveness of educational programs?"

What's Inside?

• 30 Multiple Choice questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• 30 True or False questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• 30 Short Answer questions as a separate print ready PDF worksheet
• Includes Answer Key with Explanations for all 90 questions
