Civic Unrest: Investigate the Struggle for Social Change
Booklist
“Few topics are timelier, more divisive, and more difficult to fully understand than civic unrest.  Lusted uses Rosa Parks as the archetype for defining civil unrest in the opening chapter.  An explanation of primary sources and excerpts from famous speeches, tracts, and books that supports Common Core State Standards literacy goals are included in the marginalia.  The “Vocab Lab” is a major strength of the book, providing not only a glossary of unfamiliar terms but also activities designed to put those new terms into use.  Comic strips comprise the bulk of the book’s artwork, using reoccurring characters to explain basic civics principles.  The text deals with contemporary issues in the U.S. but also explains relevant examples of civic unrest in the Middle East, South Africa, and India.  The “Inquire and Investigate” section encourages readers to put many of the theories and concepts explained in earlier chapters into practice. This is a complete and thorough resource dealing with basic civic principles for the middle-level social- studies classroom.”
