Effective citizens are able to solve problems and they understand the role that policy plays in doing so. During this project, you are going to address a problem or an issue by taking civic actions. As you try to make an impact, you’ll explore relationships between the issue, your actions, and policy. Another thing effective citizens are good at is convincing others that their concerns, ideas, and views are important. Assignment: Answer the following questions using complete sentences to convince your teacher that the problem, issue, or policy you want to try to impact is important (should be at least 2 pages double spaced in length). NOTE: THIS ASSIGNMENT NEEDS TO BE TYPED AND ADHEAR TO MLA FORMAT. 1. What problem, issue, or policy do you propose to work on? 2. How does this problem, issue, or policy influence/effect people? 3. How is the problem or issue related to policy? This is important as you take civic actions, you’ll need to

deal with public policy in some way. 4. Why do you want to work on this? Why do you think it is important? 5. What are the first few things you think you could do to affect your desired change? Explain.

Part 1: The Civic Action Project Proposal

As people work to address issues/problems, they educate themselves about the issues/problems (conduct research) and continually set and reset goals to accomplish their desired outcomes. As you attempt to address an issue/problem, you’ll need to stay informed about it (need to conduct research and then keep up on new information about your issue/problem). Then you need to use your knowledge to set goals and plan how to affect the desired change (and be prepared to change your course of action along the way). Assignment: Gather information about your issue and set some goals. Answer the following questions using complete sentences (should be at least 5 pages double spaced in length). NOTE: THIS ASSIGNMENT NEEDS TO BE TYPED, ADHEAR TO MLA FORMAT, & THIS NEEDS TO BE SUBMITTED WITH THE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY (PART 2B) 1. Using no more than 1 paragraph (typed and double spaced), explain what problem, issue, or

policy you are working on. 2. Using no more than 1 paragraph (typed and double spaced), explain what your goal or desired

outcome is (what change do you hope to accomplish).

Consider the Following: What do you need to know before you take your first steps towards affecting your desired change?

Be sure to think about: • Background/History of the issue/problem • Cause of the issue/problem and the effect the issue/problem is having on people • Effects of problem on society • What has been done in the past to address this issue/problem and to what extent have

these actions been successful? THE PLACES/SOURCES YOU FIND THIS INFORMATION (YOUR RESEARCH) WILL NEED TO BE SORTED AND STORED FOR YOUR USE IN THE FORM OF AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY (MLA FORMAT); THIS IS PART 2B OF THE CIVIC ACTION PROJECT!

Part 2A: Civic Action “Thinking It Through” Assignment/Report

You will take civic action(s) to move toward this goal. An important civic action to start with is to educate yourself about the issue/problem.

3. Using no less than 1 page typed (double spaced), explain the background/history of your chosen issue/problem. NEED TO BE SURE TO CITE YOUR SOURCES IN-TEXT USING MLA FORMAT AND THE SOURCES NEED TO BE LISTED IN THE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY USING MLA FORMAT.

4. Using no less than 1 page typed (double spaced), explain what is the cause of the

issue/problem and explain how this issue/problem effects people/society. NEED TO BE SURE TO CITE YOUR SOURCES IN-TEXT USING MLA FORMAT AND THE SOURCES NEED TO BE LISTED IN THE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY USING MLA FORMAT.

5. Using no less than 1 page typed (double spaced), explain what has been done in the past to

address this issue/problem and to what extent have these actions been successful? NEED TO BE SURE TO CITE YOUR SOURCES IN-TEXT USING MLA FORMAT AND THE SOURCES NEED TO BE LISTED IN THE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY USING MLA FORMAT.

6. Using no less than 1 page typed (double spaced), explain the civic action(s) you plan to take to

affect/influence your desired change and explain why you think this action will help to affect/influence the problem, issue, or policy that you are working on. NEED TO BE SURE TO CITE YOUR SOURCES IN-TEXT USING MLA FORMAT AND THE SOURCES NEED TO BE LISTED IN THE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY USING MLA FORMAT.

7. Using no more than 1 paragraph (typed and double spaced), explain how & when this/these

civic action(s) will take place. Reminder: Be sure to take photographs of you taking this action (YOU NEED TO HAVE EVIDENCE OF TAKING THE CIVIC ACTION)!

Assignment: Answer the following questions using complete sentences after completing your civic action (should be at least 2 pages double spaced in length). NOTE: EVIDENCE OF THE CIVIC ACTION THAT WAS TAKEN MUST BE ATTACHED TO THIS ASSIGNMENT WHEN IT IS SUBMITTED AND THIS ASSIGNMENT NEEDS TO BE TYPED & ADHEAR TO MLA FORMAT. 1. Using no more than 1 paragraph (typed and double spaced), explain what problem, issue, or

policy you are working on. 2. Using no less than 1 page, explain what action civic action(s) you took and what effect you think

this/these civic action(s) had on your chosen issue/problem. If you had to take another/additional civic actions to effect change regarding the issue/problem what would it/they be? Explain. NEED TO BE SURE TO CITE ANY SOURCES USED IN-TEXT USING MLA FORMAT AND THE SOURCES NEED TO BE LISTED IN THE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY USING MLA FORMAT.

3. Using no less than 1 page, explain what knowledge, skills, or attitudes of effective citizenship

you used and/or gained through doing this/these civic action(s). In other words, what did this have to do with what you are supposed to be learning in this class?

Attach evidence of your civic action. (Photos, agenda, copy of meeting notes, e-mails, etc.)

Part 3: “Implement Civic Action” Assignment/Report

Effective citizens work toward solving problems and addressing issues. As individuals, they may or may not achieve their long-term goals. However, their efforts often pay off by making others aware of the situation, by building constituencies who will move the cause further, or by inspiring others to be more engaged. You have worked to address a problem or issue and have examined the role that policy plays in this. Assignment: Write a 2-3 page process/reflection report (following MLA format) on how you completed your civic action and about what you learned through completing the civic action project and on the impact of your efforts (be sure to note the length requirements for each question). Remember, you need to have a thesis (what impact did your civic action have on the issue/problem?)! NOTES:

• THIS NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED BY EACH STUDENT INDEPENDENTLY! o THERE SHOULD BE TWO REFLECTION PAPERS IN THE PROJECT PORTFOLIO (ONE

FOR YOU AND ONE FOR YOUR PARTNER). • THIS ASSIGNMENT NEEDS TO BE TYPED & ADHEAR TO MLA FORMAT.

Use the questions below to guide your report: 1. Using no more than 1 paragraph (typed and double spaced) explain what problem, issue, or

policy you and your partner worked on and explain what you learned about it. (INTRODUCTION)

1(a). Explain what impact you and your partner accomplished through completing your civic action. Remember, this could include many things like impacting public policy or raising others’ awareness. (THESIS)

2. Using no less than 1 page (typed and double spaced), explain how you and your partner went

about completing your civic action. How did you try to impact this problem/issue/policy? What was/were the outcome(s) of your civic action(s)? (Summarize your civic action(s) and include policy implications.) (BODY PARAGRAHS) NEED TO BE SURE TO CITE ANY SOURCES USED IN-TEXT USING MLA FORMAT AND THE SOURCES NEED TO BE LISTED IN THE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY USING MLA FORMAT.

3. Using no less than 1 page (typed and double spaced), explain the knowledge, skills, and

attitudes you developed through the Civic Action Project experience; THIS CONNECTS TO WHAT YOU LEARNED FROM COMPLETING THE CIVIC ACTION PROJECT. (BODY PARAGRAPHS)

o Knowledge? o Skills? o Attitudes?

4. Using no more than 1 paragraph (typed and double spaced), explain the recommendations you

would make to the next person who chose to work on this issue/problem? (CONCLUSION)
