Citizen Handbook

We have been discussing the rights and responsibilities people have as a citizen of this country.  You are going to create your own citizen handbook.  Imagine you are leaving directions to people in the future about what it means to be a good citizen of the U.S.  What would you tell them? 

Write in PARAGRAPH form your directions for the national, state, city, school, and home levels.  Each section should have at least 5 GOOD and complex sentences.  Remember you are giving advice! 

1.    Write in complete sentences.

2.    Make sure to use rights and responsibilities from your pyramid.

3.   On the cover you can draw or insert a picture that represents citizenship (ex: eagle, flag, White House, or even yourself)

4.  On each blank page in your book you must insert at least three pictures for each section (nation, state, city, etc.).  The pictures must reflect what you have written about citizenship.

This will count as a project grade.  Due Monday, December 9, 2013.
