NCSS Gallery Theme: Citizenship in the 21st Century
The National Council for the Social Studies is a partner in the National Gallery of Writing, an online exhibition of writing hosted by the National Council of Teachers of English.
What does an effective citizen do? Why are effective citizens necessary in a participatory democracy? What should students learn about history, civics, economics and/or geography in order to be prepared for their roles as citizens? What are the roles of parents, teachers and others in preparing effective citizens? What important person in your life—parent, friend, sibling, teacher or other role model—has contributed substantively to your understanding of citizenship, and how? What cases, examples, or instances of effective citizenship have you observed, participated in and/or supported? Send us your ideas, stories, pictures, or other responses.
Submit your writing today!
Each person can submit one piece of writing that is important to them (be it a letter, digital composition, video, or other format.) It just takes a few minutes to upload your submission.
The pieces will be unveiled on October 20, 2009 as part of The National Day on Writing, a nationwide celebration highlighting the variety and importance of writing in daily life.
