You must construct of a profile for an engaged and influential citizen. You will do this by...actually constructing a profile for an engaged and influential citizen. How ‘bout that! My recommendation is for you to be as thoughtful and creative as possible in doing so.

 

PREPARATION

 

  • Reflect upon what you have learned thus far in this class about what it means to be a citizen in the 21st century.
  • List the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of such a citizen. What does he or she know? What does he or she know how to do? And what are his or her inherent qualities of mind and character? I want you to actually list these things! There are a lot, so please don’t feel like you need to list all of them. Just list the ones that you think are most important and that best apply to the most “engaged and influential citizens” of this country.

 

ACTION

 

Build your "Power Profile".

    • You have a wide array of options for how you do this. Suggestions include
      • a 2-page essay,
      • a video,
      • a painting or drawing, or
      • a digital rendering using PowerPoint, Keynote, a web page, you name it!
      • The choice is yours!
    • The idea is for your profile to be both creative and descriptive, incorporating all of the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that you listed and explaining what they mean and why they matter. Be clever and be thorough!

 

REFLECTION

 

Compose a  1-page, double spaced essay answering the following:

 

  1. Using your profile as a guide, would you say that we have a lot of truly “engaged and influential citizens” in the United States? Why or why not?
  2. Do you see in yourself in any parts of your profile?
  3. Based on your profile, what areas for improvement can you identify for yourself?

 

SUBMISSION

Please submit the following here:

  • your three lists—one for knowledge, one for skills, and one for dispositions— you prepared as part of your "preparation" above.
  • your "Power Profile" in whatever format you chose to create it through/in.
  • The 1-page, double spaced Reflection essay.
