Teaching about civil society
Lindsay Marshall of San Jose, CA found and posted (on the AP Government Teachers Facebook page) an excellent set of tools for teaching about civil society. NOTE: There's also a Facebook page for AP Comparative Government and Politics.The plans were created for Civic Voices which "encourages global education for the 21st century by creating a virtual classroom for students to study active citizenship."
Several of the teaching plans are specifically about the USA, but Russia and Mexico are featured in a couple more. It wouldn't take much to add examples of national symbols, national anthems, and constitution preambles of the other countries in the AP curriculum to customize these plans for AP Comparative.
