Description
Harrison,American Democracy Now, applies a critical thinking framework to teaching American Government by asking students to �Inquire, Converse, and Participate�. ..�Inquire� is about students asking the right questions, and not taking what they read, hear, or see at face value. �Converse� is getting students to the point where they can join in the conversation of democracy constantly going on around them � as informed participants. �Participate� is about students getting involved or making a conscious decision not to get involved, and also about participation including many new activities related to technology � blogging, online polling, social networking sites, and more..
