Fall 22 Civics 4-Period 4 Assignments

Please submit:
 your campaign (or a link to it if that makes more sense) 
your write-up.

If you worked with others, please leave me a "Private Comment" and name your team member(s).

IN CLASS FRIDAY:
I've attached the link to the padlet below. Only one member needs to add your file/link and give it a creative title. Under "Write something" please briefly share:

-Intended audience
-where your digital content would be distributed

You are completing this on your own for your resolution. See debate instructions and have complete by the next class when you will work together as a group.

This is a personalized, independent assignment to evaluate your political identity.

Remember to submit your project here using the reflection sheet AND on the KQED showcase (linked below) between Nov. 3 and Nov. 10 at 3 pm.

Submission Code: V3YREW0C

If you are working with a partner, please leave me a private comment with their name, and remember that every individual needs to complete the attached reflection. Double-check that the link to your audio/video is public (use an incognito or private window to confirm).

Please scan and upload your hard copy here. If you aren't sure about a question, answer it anyway and circle or star it so you can be sure to ask about it next class.

Make a copy of the Script Graphic Organizer for audio or the Storyboard Template slides for video. 

Submit digitally here BEFORE class so I can grade and return them. Your group will time you reading your script (audio) and reading your script and flipping through your images (video) to make sure you are within the 2-3 minute range. You will be receiving feedback from your peers in order to make changes and record your final product. 

You will complete through the Civics 101 podcast and one-pager (remember, you do not need to complete the State and Local elections section yet--stop right after the one-pager assignment). 


You will be physically submitting your one-pager in class so either print it out or create it by hand. Examples and Guidelines are linked on the hyperdoc.

**Reminder, you will not be able to access your digital notes so make sure you bring in a hard copy.

Please make a copy and complete the Planning Guide. If you are working with a partner, then I only need one per partner and please leave me a private comment naming that person.

Please complete your letter and submit it to me. Next class, we will make sure your letter is ready to send AND we will send them together.

Please be thorough in your reflection.

Begin your Study Guide--we will have some time to complete this next class for your test on FRI/MON 9/23, 26. You may complete and scan your hard copy or this digital copy.

**Do not forget to bring your Chromebook tomorrow

In the article, the author states, "American racial attitudes have traditionally contradicted American professed ideals of freedom and equality. America’s Constitution has reflected that contradiction and the struggle to reconcile American rhetoric with American reality."

Respond to this statement using at least 2 pieces of evidence from the article and at least one current example that reflects this struggle toward freedom and equality in our country (consider any marginalized community**). Your response should be a minimum of two paragraphs and must include an analysis of the excerpts you selected. Please see attached format and example if you need some support.


** Via the National Institutes of Health: Marginalized communities are those excluded from mainstream social, economic, educational, and/or cultural life. Examples of marginalized populations include, but are not limited to, groups excluded due to race, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, physical ability, language, and/or immigration status. Marginalization occurs due to unequal power relationships between social groups

Read the attached section on judicial interpretation and be ready for a reading quiz next class. 

I recommend you create a chart that focuses on the facts, summary, and significance of 4 landmark Supreme Court cases:
Marbury v. Madison
McCulloch v. Maryland
United States v. Nixon
Goss v. Lopez
You do not need to submit your chart, but it would be helpful for the quiz and studying for your Unit 2 test.

Read the attached article, then respond to “What can YOU (as an individual with your own interests, skills, and strengths) do to keep our republic healthy for the century to come?” Be specific in your response (yes, you should address your interests, concerns, skills, and strengths) and use at least one excerpt from the article to support your answer.



This should be a minimum of one paragraph.

"Is the US democracy healthy?" is the question we will be deliberating on Thursday, 9/8. The instructions are on Kami--you will highlight and annotate (talk with the text and add in your own responses). Please refer back to the Principles of Democracy posters linked to the padlet below.

I've also added President Biden's 9/1/22 speech on threats to our democracy and the transcript (not necessary but I highly recommend it as he addresses most of the principles and picks up where the reading left off).

Complete the Study Guide (digitally using Kami or by hand and scan/upload) AND use the Quizlet to study for your Unit 1 test on Tuesday, September 6

Read chapter 2, section 2 and take notes. You will have a RQ next class so make sure you have your Chromebook.

Read the attached reading and create the chart in your notes. 


For the last column, you will need to search online for examples within the last two years (note: they do not need to be American examples). Make sure with your current examples that you identify SPECIFIC events/dates for examples. You will need to explain the event and how it reflects "the game". You can take a photo or use "notes" on iOS to scan and upload your notes (you may need to save to the drive and then upload).

Please follow the directions for your designated form of government.

Complete the following document on the Civil Rights icon, John Lewis.  Please read the directions carefully and be thorough in your responses.

1. Create your slide to add to our class identity slides


Imagine you were to conduct an online search to discover who you are? What ”results” would emerge from your search?
Create a slide specifically dedicated to you with multimedia content as the “Search results”.
Here are some examples of what you could include: images, videos, shopping profiles or reviews, other websites, organizations, links. 
Must include on your slide: your name and at least 5 "search item results"

Search item results should reflect any factors of identity you feel comfortable sharing with our class. 
Religious/spiritual affiliation
Culture, race, or ethnicity
Appearance/style
Language or nationality
Hobbies/interests
Gender
Sexual orientation
Beliefs and values
Group/organization/community membership
Personality traits
2. Complete the Personal Identity Description (doc)

Please fill out the following form to let me know a bit about you. The form should take anywhere from 10-20 minutes to complete.

Read, watch or listen to a news segment on a current event (within the last 5 days). Come prepared to share:

source and date it was published
a summary of the event (think a short paragraph of the basics--who, what, where, when, why, and/or how).
You can either add your digital summary here via Google Doc OR you can scan and upload it if you prefer to write it out.
