This teacher's guide is designed to show how Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network (C-SPAN) can be used as a primary source in the secondary education classroom to teach citizenship education for concept and skill development. Subject areas that C-SPAN can supplement are global education, government, public speaking, economics education, law education, and comparative government. While using C-SPAN as a classroom resource, students will: (1) build their vocabulary; (2) develop better listening skills; (3) enhance oral and written skills; (4) develop decision-making skills; (5) acquire knowledge of current events; and (6) develop critical thinking skills. Some suggested learning activities are provided. The role of a school's media center and tips for C-SPAN viewing and use are also discussed. (DJC)
