Clued in to Politics: A Critical Thinking Reader in American Government

Clued in to Politics is a collection of 70 contemporary readings that uses unique pedagogy to model critical thinking. The editors write a contextual headnote--"why we chose this piece"--and then employ the CLUES method--Consider the source, Lay out the argument, Uncover the evidence, Evaluate the conclusion, and Sort out the political implications--to teach students how to do close reading and analysis of political information.
