**For Your Info:**
===iCivics is a new, free, non-commercial collection of interactive games for students and lesson plans for teachers on American government and civic responsibility. Retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor founded the site to encourage students to become active and involved citizens. The games will appeal to students of all ages, __but are targeted for students in grades 5-9__ and are a good match with the __grade 5 US History I and II standards on practices and principles of US government__ in the Massachusetts History and Social Science Curriculum Framework. Modules on argumentation are also relevant to the writing standards of the Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for English Language Arts and Literacy. iCivics is supported in the Commonwealth by a team led by Justice Robert J. Cordy of the MA Supreme Judicial Court.===
