We want to design a MA 8th grade civics project. Students will have to show their civic engagement and that they know how to access government and play a role in local decision making. They need to to research the topic to show an understanding of the problem, create a solution. as part of this, they need to put out a survey to see who is on board with them, write a letter to the editor, understand the costs associated with their "fix", reach out to a nonprofit or government organization and create a campaign to get others on board. An example of the civics project is getting a digital LED sign for their school, getting a small engine repair program at school, a senior citizen project, or creating a program for free cross country skis and snow shoes in their community. Getting or supporting a light rail system might be an example. They need to be the specialists of this issue. At the end of the project, they will create a slide show detailing their process. Their success is determined by going through the process, not necessarily making their topic happen. For example, students may reach out to the fire department and town board showing their support of a program like the junior firefighter program. The project was created already, their just showing their support. Kids in the past have tried to create murals, ice rinks, dugouts for their baseball fields, or reading programs.

Students select a contemporary conflict of ideas/truths from a menu, then Explain the historical context leading to the conflict Explain side A’s POV Explain side B’s POV Compare side A and side B finding a text based source and a non-text source that connect to content this semester and present that to the class. I currently do not know if I want them to focus on a CRQ skill (reliability, cause and effect, turning point, etc) or stick with enduring issues as our theme Task: Close read document 1 and 2 Close read [name of primary source (date)] and respond to close reading questions. Write a four paragraph response in which you compare the ideas presented in document 1 and document 2 Self-assess your writing response using the rubric Complete writing interview check-out
