The West Virginia Classroom

Where students and teachers come to learn about the Mountain State

e-WV: The West Virginia Encyclopedia offers lesson plans designed by West Virginia teachers and aligned with state social studies content standards. Most lesson plans are designed for one specific grade, but a few cover more than one. The Civics Toolkit ranges from kindergarten to 8th grade. A high school component will be added soon!

Note: If you downloaded any of these lesson plans prior to October 2024, some of the material, including links to e-WV entries, may have changed.
