Active Citizenship Today Field Guide [Middle School Edition]

Written for middle school youth, this citizenship manual guides students in learning about their community and exploring how they can help to change it. This process includes examining the past, present, and future community; identifying problems; searching for solutions; exploring options; and taking action. Activities include research, public relations, community resources, public speaking, persuasive writing, government process, planning, conducting meetings, fund raising, resolving group conflict, evaluation, and reflection. An evaluation questionnaire is included as well as a directory of supporting organizations. See also the ACT Handbook for Middle School Teachers.
