In Participation in Democracy, we deviated slightly from the lesson plan to focus on an important political event that was taking place; President Trump’s impeachment. We got into groups of two or three and had to look up an article from a left-leaning news source, one from a right-leaning news source, and one from a centrist news source. We had to summarize each article and include a direct quote from each. Then, based on what we had read, we had to construct a thesis on whether or not President Trump should be impeached and give three reasons why or why not. For this assignment, we had to use Civic Literacy and Engagement Skills because the assignment was about something that was going on in our government and is our civic duty to know and have opinions about. Also, doing this assignment helps us stay informed about what is happening in our country and makes us more able to discuss Trump's impeachment. Impeachment slideshow
