Big Idea: 

This year, I have hoped you would explore the role of citizenship in our democracy inside the classroom and outside of it.  The course EQ is: 

What is the most important role of citizenship in our democracy?

Role:  Like an actor playing a part in a play.

Citizenship: Way of acting, behavioral

Democracy:  Review the XLANDIA PBL

Instructions:

1.  Write an essay answering the course EQ.

2.  Essay should include:

·      Thesis statement (aka the best answer)

·      Introduction, Body, Conclusion

·      Introduction should define the EQ and specifically show understanding of citizenship and democracy

·      The introduction should also include your thesis statement.

·      The body should support your thesis.

·      The conclusion should summarize the essential point, provide the most important assignment and why, and describe the product of your experience in my course. 

3.  You should reference in your essay a minimum of five assignments from two different challenges.  Each pentagon is closure to each challenge.  We have completed three challenges.   You can reference Core PBLs, senior project, or senior class activities. 

4.  Essay should:

·      Be written well

·      Be reviewed for spelling and grammar issues

·      Show that it has been well thought out and five paragraphs minimum.

5.  Essay will be submitted to turnitin.com by the end of class.

Please note.  You can’t write the essay prior to the class day.  You are welcome to write outlines, but not the essay.  If there is evidence you wrote the essay prior, you will earn a zero on the final.
