The Active Citizen
The focus of this unit will be to prepare students for full citizenship in order to influence public decision making. Students will become actively engaged with a community issue of interest to them. This will provide students with the opportunities to make connections between classroom activities, active participation, and possible careers links. This unit will reinforce students’ literacy skills, including inquiry strategies, critical and creative thinking, decision making, resolving conflicts, and collaboration.
