Locke and Montesquieu - Topic 1.4: Influencing the Founding Fathers - 2024 EOC

PowerPoint available at: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/S...

Florida EOC New Exam - hi guys, this one still works - they just moved it up in order. I will be updating the videos soon, but I'm focusing on the new benchmarks first. Thanks! Jeff

This video teaches students the influence that the Enlightenment philosophers John Locke and Baron de Montesquieu had on the founding fathers and the federal government that they established. In particular, this will teach students how John Locke's ideas of natural rights influenced Thomas Jefferson when writing the Declaration of Independence. It will also look at how Montesquieu's ideas of "separation of powers" and "checks and balances" influenced the framers of the US Constitution.

Mr. Raymond’s Civics E.O.C. Academy was designed for students taking the Florida Civics End-of-Course (EOC) Exam. However, as many states are implementing Civics Exams, these videos will work for all students of Civics, US Government, and US History. Currently students have to pass a civics state exam in order to graduate in Idaho, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Arizona, North Dakota, Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Utah. These videos look at all of the civics benchmarks that will be tested on most state civics exams.

As a civics teacher I have often looked for civics YouTube video clips to show my students. I hope these videos will serve as a supplement to lessons for civics teachers, US history teachers, US government teachers and their students. While they might be a little basic for AP Government students, they could serve as a refresher of basic concepts and content. I have also thought that these videos could help those who are going to take the naturalization test to become US Citizens. I have also been reached by parents whose children are taking Florida Virtual School’s (FLVS) Civics class.
