Opinions about citizenship

responsible citizenship - an opinion


Digital Citizenship with Hector

So, what is Citizenship? Why should we think about it? How does it affect us?

Work in groups of two or three to develop a PowerPoint presentation or an online equivalent
[e.g. Google Document, blog, wiki*] to state your case for the importance of being a responsible citizen.

If working online you also need to include digital citizenship as a theme.

e.g. Citizenship is about belonging to a country and being legally allowed to vote in that country's elections. - http://www.citizenship.com/

The concept of the Citizen was very important in ancient Rome.
