Describing people, places, environments, processes, and events and the connections between and among them, is one of the identified skills that are key to reasoning in both textual and quantitative social science contexts. This lesson draws from the content domain of civics and government, which comprises approximately 50% of the social studies content and reflects what is most relevant and useful for an adult population. The GED Testing Service ® has identified this assessment target as a high impact indicator that describes some of the critical thinking skills students need to be successful in college, career training, and the workforce.  \nProcess  \nIntroduce the lesson by asking the following questions and discussing as a class:  \n􀁸 What kind of system of government does the United States have?  \n􀁸 How is the US system like the governmental systems of other countries?  \n􀁸 Name some different forms of government and how do their characteristics differ from the US system?  \nShow the YouTube video from Mr. Raymond’s Civics and Social Studies Academy, Systems of Government video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNWVM3liOK0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNWVM3liOK0) (8 .39) .  \nAfter viewing the video, lead class discussion and answer the following questions:  \n􀁸 What are some of the pros and cons of a democracy?  \n􀁸 Who holds the most power in a monarchy?  \n􀁸 Name an example of a parliamentary style of government?  \n􀁸 Would you want to live in a theocracy? Why or why not?  \nReview vocabulary definitions on Handout A: Vocabulary – Systems of Government. Be sure to mention the example countries for each system. You may also want to ask students to locate each country on a world map.  \nAfter the vocabulary review, give students Handout B: Systems and Forms of Government. Complete one item from each section together and then have students complete worksheet through number 12.  \nSample Debriefing Questions  \n􀁸 Oth","cbCaieD854lfjpQP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieD854lfjpQP","pdf",1545304,14,"English","# Objectives of the Lesson\n# Materials\n# Instructional Plan\n## Process\n## Sample Debriefing Questions\n# Modifications for Different Levels\n# Assessments/Extensions\n# Handout A: Vocabulary List","[{\"question\":\"What instructional goals does the lesson target for students?\",\"answer\":\"Students describe key elements in texts and explain relationships among multiple elements.
