Activate! I Civics game

Today in class we utilized the I Civics website. We worked on the online activity called ACTIVATE! This correlates to our text when it asks us as citizens to express ourselves when change occurs for the worse in our community or if it needs to take place to fix a problem to make our community better.

Do you have a great idea about how to make positive change in your community? In Activate, you campaign for an issue of your choice. Manage your resources well and grow your organization from a few friends to a national movement! Engage the community and elected leaders to raise awareness and support for your cause. Good luck!
