FAQ
How do I use this city, county and state offices worksheet?
⌄
Pair this set with a lesson on the levels of government. Students can compare the offices on the sheets with the real offices in their own county and state.
What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Sort eight county offices, from sheriff to assessor, into an organizer and match each to a case. The directions on the page read: Read the sample directory and the eight cases. You will use them to fill in the organizer on page 2. An answer key is included.
Can I use this city, county and state offices worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade State and Local Government, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
What is the difference between an elected and an appointed office?
⌄
Voters choose an elected official, while an appointed official is chosen by someone else. In the sample county, the sheriff is elected and the assessor is appointed.
Who vetoes ordinances in a city?
⌄
In the mayor-council form, the mayor can veto ordinances, which are local laws. The council passes them.
Do state offices always have the same titles?
⌄
No. The sheet notes that duties and titles vary by state, so the offices shown are typical ones.
