I am so excited to journey through this class together with you and your peers. Be ready for a challenging course that will explore current events and issues and how they relate to government. My hope for you is to start (or continue) on the path of becoming a contributing citizen in society. You can find the syllabus under the Class Forms section of the blog.
For the introductory activity, you will be creating your own personal manifesto! This will be a great way to get know the diverse community that makes up our class.
* Remember: A manifesto represents opinions, motivations, principles, and/or intentions.
1. Be creative and true to yourself
2. Include writing and at least one image
3. Be prepared to share your manifesto
Visit Google Classroom to see the assignment description and rubric.
