Closing Reflection

(15-20 minutes)

 

Loop back to the essential questions your students explored in this module.

​

• Who do you see as your local and online communities?

• What civic issues do you hear people in your community talking about most?

• What civic issue are you curious about that you’d like to understand better and get involved in?

 

Ask students to reflect on each relevant question and write out responses to the following prompts:  

​

• I used to think…. Now I think….

 

Think-Pair-Share: You can then ask students to share their reflections with a classmate.
