My State Notebook
From Abeka. “A basic guide to help students collect and learn the facts that are unique to their state as well as beginning research skills.” (Note: we are linking to the version we are familiar with, though there is a newer version available.)
Civics Activity Book
Also from Abeka, but written for a higher level than the above title, this activity book guides state research “in a study of national, state, and local government with a brief overview of the Constitution and a variety of interesting activity sheets. In addition to government, students also study the history, geography, and other characteristics of their state and local areas.” We have enjoyed many of the activities in this book, which include writing letters to state officials, researching the state history and other activities. (Note: we are linking to the version we are familiar with, though there is a newer version available.)
