Levels of Civic Engagement Homework Assignment
In their book titled
The Service Learning Companion,
Dawn Duncan and Joan Kopperud assert that "At different stages of your life and with regard to various issues, you may practice different levels of engaged citizenship. You may act as a personally responsible citizen, a participatory citizen, or a transforming citizen." Throughout this unit you will be provided with multiple opportunities to practice engaged citizenship at each of three levels.
Directions:
Refer to the chart
adapted from Westheimer and Kahn
on the three levels of civic engagement. Then identify an issue (other than hunger) addressed by the agency you serve and provide an example of at least one action that could be taken at each level of citizenship in the spaces provided below.
