3. Assessment Evidence
The federal government has learned that Ms. Robinsons Career Portals class has been
learning about identity theft. With this being said, the government needs our help! They
would like for our class create Identity Theft Awareness flyers to post throughout the
community. These flyers will include the following; the definition of identity theft, ways
your identity can be stolen, and how to protect your identity. The federal government
would like for these flyers to also include one picture and last but not least, it needs to be
creative. When you are finished with the flyers, you will write on the back, where in the
community you will post your flyer and why.
