No matter how you organize your teaching resources, Glencoe has what you need.
The Teacher Classroom Resources for United States Government: Democracy In Action provides
you with a wide variety of supplemental materials to enhance the classroom experience. These
resources appear as individual booklets in a carryall tote box. The booklets are designed to open

style. Below are several alternatives:
? Organize all resources by category
(all tests, all enrichment and extension activities,
all cooperative learning activities, etc., filed separately)
? Organize all resources by category and chapter
(all Chapter 1 activities, all Chapter 1 tests, etc.)
? Organize resources sequentially by lesson
(activities, quizzes, readings, etc., for Chapter 1, Chapter 2, and so on)
