The essentials of Missouri's government, constitution, and economy.

Cloud Publishing's comprehensive Missouri Studies program features a unique mix of attention-getting graphics and easy-to-read text. Together, they provide the tools to capture students' interest and build progressively on student knowledge.

Program materials advance logically and systematically through the state's colorful history to the present.  High-interest information and concepts are designed to focus student attention, improve recall, and sharpen thinking skills.

Imaginative suggestions challenge students to think about, remember, compare, and perform mental activities that focus attention on the text.  Key graphics summarize data and concepts while the text continues to relate previously discussed content to the topic under study.

Activity Book

The carefully planned Activity Book contains five relevant activities for each chapter: Vocabulary, Reviewing the Facts, Developing Your Skills, Applying the Chapter, and Keeping What You Have Learned. The activities are compiled to enable students to develop core competencies and key skills, while applying the content of the textbook to purposeful, hypothetical situations. The tasks for each chapter become progressively more complex, allowing students to build on previously learned skills.

The Teacher's Guide

The Teacher's Guide includes answer keys, chapter quizzes, and final exam (in blackline master format) that work in concert with the text and activity book to strengthen a vitally important facet of each student's citizenship education.

Satisfies the Missouri law that requires a course on the institutions, branches, and functions of the government of the state of Missouri.
