National Curriculum Alignment

This lesson aligns with the standards of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) focusing on the development of critical thinking, writing, and presentation skills.

Objectives

By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

• Understand the concept of civic engagement and its importance in the community.
• Create a visual and written representation of their civic seal that represents their values and beliefs related to civic responsibility.
• Work collaboratively in small groups to share and discuss their ideas.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Construction paper
• Colored markers, crayons, or colored pencils
• Projector or computer (optional for presentations)
• Handouts with examples of civic seals and guidelines for the project

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 minutes	Introduce the concept of civic engagement and the civic seal project. Discuss examples of civic seals.
2	Group Formation	5 minutes	Divide students into small groups of 4-5. Each group will discuss their understanding of civic engagement.
3	Planning the Civic Seal	10 minutes	In groups, students brainstorm ideas for their civic seal, deciding on symbols, words, and colors that represent their values. Provide handouts for guidance.
4	Creating the Civic Seal	7 minutes	Students individually or collaboratively create their civic seals on construction paper, using markers and crayons.
5	Sharing and Reflection	3 minutes	Groups share their civic seals with one another for feedback, but do not present in front of the class. Instead, they can share ideas within their groups.
6	Conclusion and Homework	2 minutes	Summarize key points from the lesson. For homework, ask students to write a short paragraph explaining their civic seal's meaning. This will be collected and reviewed the next class without presentations.

Assessment

• Participation in group discussions and activity
• Completion of the civic seal project
• Quality of the written paragraph explaining the civic seal for homework

Homework

Students will write a short paragraph (5-7 sentences) explaining the meaning of their civic seal and its importance to them. This will be assessed for understanding and effort, without individual presentations in class.

Notes

• Ensure students are reminded to use respectful language and to value each other's ideas during group work.
• Be prepared to provide additional support to groups that may struggle with brainstorming or creative expression.
