Federal Reserve Board develops Kids Page
You can check out this free resource at:
http://www.federalreserve.gov/kids/default.htm
This site does provide background information about the Federal Reserve Board that I bet you didn't know.
The pages have a mascot that looks like the big-footed eagle that students would draw for their pep rally for their upcoming game, maybe "Stomp the Congressional Inflators!"
There is also a ten question quiz at the end of the page.
I suppose that the appeal of the page is that it looks like a page that your students would create for their presentation on the Federal Reserve Board for a Middle School Civics Class.
However, if the student clicks on the map as, suggested on the page, they are taken to the various sites of the Regional FED. These Regional FED sites are ones that only an economist could love.
You probably would learn something that you didn't know if you read the page (The site is a long page with a Table of Contents).
But, maybe your best bet is to use the page as an example as you praise your students abilities, and assure them that their present ions can easily be better written and look more professional than this government site.
Check it out if you teach civics.
Let us know if your students obtain any value from visiting this site.
