Sample Activities for this Outcome

Civic Engagement Autobiography
This worksheet helps students tease out and embrace the potentially hidden civic dimensions of their work.
My Political Autobiography
This workbook is a journal, a prompt, an exercise, a preparation. It can be completed from start to finish or you can focus on the parts that feel most helpful to you. Print this out and write directly on the page or grab a journal to write in. The point is to begin thinking about what experiences, relationships, and values have shaped your current political beliefs, why the things you care about now matter so much to you, and what would happen if you had the political power to make changes. By feeling more fully grounded in your own beliefs, you’ll be ready to engage with others in a healthier dialogue about politics, political events, or an upcoming election.
Civic Engagement Assessment and Action Plan
Students complete a civic engagement self-assessment measuring their current civic knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors; analyze results to identify strengths and gaps; research civic engagement opportunities aligned with their interests; and develop a concrete action plan for increasing civic participation.
Reflection models
This collection of reflection models/prompts provides students with different reflection prompts to critically reflect in a meaningful way to uncover what they learned and how to transfer learning to future experiences.
