Hoke High teacher's article
in national education book
Betty C. Rouse, who teaches
12th Grade Civics and Govern
ment at Hoke County High
School, appears in a new book,
"Teaching the Excitement of
Politics in America."
Written by teachers for teachers,
the book is published by The Taft
Institute for Two-Party Govern
ment in New York City.
Miss Rouse's article, "Follow
ing Candidates in the Media," in
volves an entire class in different
aspects of a local political cam
paign.
Students are assigned to monitor
campaign Finance, opinion polls,
and voting trends, and report them
to the class. They come to see the
impact their vote can have, as well
as the many opportunities to "get
involved" in a campaign.
Miss Rouse was one of more
than 30 gifted teachers from 20
states-California to New York,
Minnesota to Mississippi?who
contributed to this unique volume.
The ideas cover a broad
spcctrurn-from teaching five-year
olds what government is and how
it works, to holding mock political
conventions, to taping television
commercials for real candidates.
This book of ideas was born as
the result of a teaching competi
tion. In order to win a place in a
special Taft Institute Seminar on
practical politics in Washington,
D.C., teachers submitted original
lesson plans for teaching the
political process to elementary or
high school students. Miss Rouse's
winning idea, along with those of
30 of her colleagues is published
for the first imte in "Teaching the
Excitement of Politics in
America."
The Taft Institute for Two
Party Government is a nonprofit,
nonpartisan educational corpora
tion. Named after the late United
States Senator Robert A. Taft of
Ohio, the Institute was created in
1961 to stimulate among
Americans an understanding of the
process and problems of govern
ment. It docs this through its Taft
Seminars for Teachcrs held each
year across the country for elemen
tary and high school educators,
and through its distinguished
publications.
Miss Rouse resides in Fayet
teville.
"Teaching the Excitiment of
Politics in America," a 110-page
large-size paperbound book, is
available for S12 from the Taft In
stitute for Two-Party Govern
ment, 420 Lexington Avenue, New
York City 10170.
