6. Resources: To help students first understand what a service is, make a classroom poster. On this poster include the definition and a list the students come up with that are services. After the lesson, go through and underline all that are provided by the local government so students have something to look back to, to help them remember. Bring in and show students within the first few pages of the phone book are the government pages. This section is broken into local, state, and national government categories. Read through some of the items under local government and see if can find some numbers belonging to services provided by the government. At least showing students this section is there is helpful.
