U.S. Government Course Civic Action Project Overview: You will select one issue that you and your partner believe to be important or interesting, and you will try to solve the issue or at least move it in the right direction. Once you and your partner select the issue that you both agree to work on (i.e. what you both consider important or interesting), you will both research your topic, and then based on your research identify action(s) that you can take to try to successfully affect your desired change (i.e. working to influence change for your issue [this will usually encompass attempting to influence local, state, or national policy]) through taking a civic action(s). You can do this in many different ways, such as the following: 1. Write a letter(s) to government representatives (city council, state representatives, congressman, or senators) and follow up with those representatives and take additional actions to ensure you’re making progress towards achieving change regarding your chosen issue. 2. Meet with government representatives about your issue and follow up with those representatives and take additional actions to ensure you’re making progress towards achieving change regarding your chosen issue. 3. Go to a city council meeting and make a proposal (and follow up with council representatives and take additional actions to ensure you’re making progress towards achieving change regarding your chosen issue). 4. Launch a campaign to affect change (raising awareness about the issue) and try to get the policy changed (infomercials, organizing rallies, Etc.) and take additional actions to ensure you’re making progress towards achieving change regarding your chosen issue. 5. Volunteer for an organization that is working to achieve change to a policy that you believe in (ASPCA, GLENSEN, NOW, ACLU, ETC.). 6. Volunteer for a political campaign that will help to realize the change for your chosen issue that you and your partner desire to bring about. 7. Etc. You and your partner will need to document all your work and the final submitted project will be a portfolio of your work (the steps you & your partner took to affect your desired outcome for your chosen issue [i.e. policy change at the local, state, or national levels of government]). NOTE: ALL PARTS OF THE PROJECT MUST BE TYPED AND ADHEAR TO MLA FORMAT. Due Date: Monday, January 6, 2020 (MONDAY AFTER WE RETURN FROM WINTER BREAK!) NEED TO MAKE NECESSARY ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE THE FINAL PROJECT COMPLETE PRIOR TO WINTER BREAK (DO NOT PROCRASTINATE)!

Name(s)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

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

Page 5: Civic Action Projectcolumbiasecondarypride.weebly.com/uploads/6/0/0/3/... · 2019. 8. 14. · Semester Civic Action Project: 100 points (10% of the Semester 1 Grade) Activities/Deliverables:

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.

Part 3: “Implement Civic Action” Assignment/Report

Page 14: Civic Action Projectcolumbiasecondarypride.weebly.com/uploads/6/0/0/3/... · 2019. 8. 14. · Semester Civic Action Project: 100 points (10% of the Semester 1 Grade) Activities/Deliverables:

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.

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
