A Roadmap for Civil Discourse : The EAD Inquiry Deck

Civic Season 2025

Based on the popularity of our New American History X Monticello mashup with the Feast of Reason, and inspired by the Civic Season Guidebook v2, we are ready to take this show on the road with the newly digitized EAD Inquiry Deck - providing a Roadmap for Civil Discourse, for engaged citizens of all ages. Let's talk it out , America! 

Last year, we collaborated with the Civic Season Design Fellows and our friends at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello to digitize their popular Feast of Reason card deck. We heard from folks across the country who were using the digital slide decks in classrooms, summer camps, college campuses and even a moving bus on a field trip! If you haven't checked it out yet, click the link below!

We were also inspired by the awesome Civic Season Guidebook v2 produced by the Civic Season Design Fellows. It was a nationwide road trip and we thought "How might we combine the 2?" (Check out the digital guide book using the link below!)

This blog post gives you more ideas for using the Guide Book...

Which takes us to this year's collaboration .... The EAD Inquiry Deck - A Roadmap for Civil Discourse!

Our team at New American History LOVES a good mashup! As Champions of the EAD Roadmap Project and charter members of the Made by US coalitin, we have been creating inquiry based learning resources each year for the Civic Season. You may find them all here on our Civic Season landing page!
