Designed to provide direction to secondary teachers involved in citizenship education, this guide focuses on citizenship responsibility in electing public officials and on legal obligations of members of a democratic society. The material is divided into nine sections. Introductory letters and acknowledgements are followed by a detailed curriculum guide containing two teaching units. The guide contains a rationale for teaching voter registration and awareness and selective service registration. For each unit, major civic concepts, a content outline, activities, and readings are tagged to major objectives. The remaining sections of the document contain a glossary, references, and an appendix. (LP)
