In unit 4 we are focusing on different forms of government. This is generally a hard concept for kids to grasp so today we created diagrams of autocratic, oligarchic and democratic governments using...GUMMY BEARS! After creating the gummy bear diagrams, students had to explain in their interactive notebooks (ISNs) how their diagrams represented the various types of government. Students were highly engaged in this activity and a bonus incentive was that they could eat the gummy bears at the end of class if all of the diagrams and writing were correct.
