questions that students will begin to answer in “Explore”

Given our prior knowledge on Civic Engagement and Civic duty

answer the question” How do I as a student make change within
my school and community? Watch this clip of President Obama
then consider ways to contribute civic engagement as a student not
yet able to vote (under 18)

Explore
Curate a collection of resources (articles, videos, infographics, text
excerpts, etc.) for students to explore the topic.
The Goal: Students may be gathering data, sharing ideas, looking for
patterns, making conjectures, and developing further questions and
problem solving considerations with the use of the information/activity
provided

Make a copy of this graphic organizer and follow the instructions

researching three ways you can engage by answering the guiding
questions.

Explain
Use this section to allow students to explain their thinking and move
towards demonstrating mastery of the lesson’s objective.
The Goal: Provide opportunity for students to compare ideas,
construct explanations, justify in terms of observations and/or data
collected in a collaborative large group environment.

other, evaluate each other's acts of participation and rationale then
decide on one way to engage civically.

Use this section for students to apply information from the previous
sections to new circumstances or elaborate on a particular aspect at a
deeper level usually coming in the form of “What if” questions.
The Goal: Allowing students the opportunity to discuss how their
thinking has changed or been solidified.

Implement: Within your same group of three construct an outline on

the before and after of the process of participating in the activity.
Specify: Note any challenges that may arise with other student
participation. Consider the politics of the activity, is it feasible given
the climate of our school and community?

Reflect/Evaluate
Include an opportunity for face-to-face or digital reflection to guide
students along their learning progression, evaluating progress and
setting new goals for continued exploration.
The Goal: Refine initial answer to the “driving question” and reflect
on ideas, goals and beliefs concerning their progress.

Respond in a concise paragraph then out loud to your group: Are

you interested in participating in this mode of Civic Engagement.
WOuld you recommend this to your peers? Why? Or Why not?
