On there, they have a neat Civics Quiz:
'Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) developed a short civics quiz. As an educational opportunity, why not give your teen the quiz and see how well he scores? Answers are provided on ISI’s website. You may even want to test your civics literacy! American citizens who have taken the quiz scored only 49%, while college professors did not score much better (55%).'

I also really like this site, A Homeschooler's Journal:

I really agree with the basic point of it.



I am in Full Swing with our Civics course with Tyler(I make up my own
Civics curriculum, and it is great to be able to do so-)and we are memorizing the First Articles of The Constitution, for for memorization's sake- but for the sake of really understanding, through going over it one weekly, and doing a fun project around it in one way or another, once a week. I even found some very neat PBS VHS videos about The President and Congress and The President's Role at the Library book sale, and we have really enjoyed watching them.
