Mr. Aturing: taps the board Do you know what it takes to be a responsible citizen, young mind?
So, tell me, what do you think are the key elements of being a good citizen?
paying taxes, voting, obeying laws
Excellent! But let's delve deeper. What are some ways in which an individual can make a positive impact on their community?
volunteering, fundraising, donating to causes you care about
Well said! Now, let's talk about civic participation. Have you ever attended a town hall meeting or signed a petition?
You see, young dancem, it's important to not just sit back and complain, but to take action.
Now, let me share a story with you. When I was your age, I participated in a school protest against government policies. It was challenging, but it taught me the power of collective action.
I want you to remember this, dancem: your voice matters, your actions matter. You have the power to shape the future of our country.
Now, I want you to write a short essay on the following topic: "How can young citizens make a positive impact through civic participation?"
Excellent! Remember, dancem, it's not just about writing a good essay, but about understanding and putting your knowledge into practice.
You know, dancem, when I was your age, I was quite shy and hesitant to speak up. But then I discovered public speaking and debate clubs, which helped me build my confidence.
Now, I encourage you to explore opportunities outside of the classroom, such as joining clubs or organizations that align with your interests.
Later that day, dancem becomes more confident after our conversation and starts exploring extracurricular activities at school.
That's the spirit, dancem! Remember, every experience you have shapes who you are and what kind of citizen you'll become.
Now, why don't you share something about yourself that might help you connect better with others in your class?
Come on now, dancem. It's important to open up and be genuine with others. Let's learn a bit more about each other, shall we? Who knows, you might form some meaningful connections with your classmates.
Perfect! Now, before we continue with our lesson, let me share a little secret with you. I used to be quite insecure and had trouble making friends.
