Understanding Citizenship Rights and Responsibilities Through Literature and Poetry

This integrated literacy assignment explores the vital rights and responsibilities of citizenship, focusing on core democratic values. Students will engage with various trade books and poems, like "Freedom" by Hannah Hampton, to understand concepts such as freedom of speech and religion, and the importance of respecting others' rights. Additionally, students will celebrate Constitution Day with resources from PBS Kids and activities from Core Democratic Values. By connecting literature to real-world citizenship, learners gain insight into their roles and responsibilities within a democratic society.
