The compelling question for the inquiry—can the civics test make you a good citizen?—frames students’ assessment of the civics test in consideration of what it means to be a“good citizen,” a purpose of the Kentucky civics test, as well as national initiatives to have similar civics test in all states, notably by the Joe Foss Institute.  \nUnderstanding the civics test’s content, as well as how it complements being a good citizen, illuminates the intersection between knowledge, skills, dispositions, and civic experiences needed to prepare students for informed participation in civic life. In addressing the compelling question—can the civics test make you a good citizen?—students work through a series of supporting questions, formative performance tasks, and featured sources in order to construct an evidence-based argument while acknowledging competing perspectives.  \nThe supporting questions and formative tasks help students build knowledge and skills through the course of the inquiry. Through this process, students prepare for the civics test and build upon the test’s content by considering how it connects to civic engagement, as well as the tes","cbCaigrSOSUF7SJl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigrSOSUF7SJl","pdf",17870486,15,"English","# Supporting Questions\n## What is on the civics test?\n## How did the class perform on the civics test?\n## What is the most important material on the civics test?\n# Overview\n## Inquiry Description\n## Learning Standards & Instructional Framework\n## Instructional Notes\n# Summative Performance Task\n## ASSESS Can the civics test make you a better citizen?\n# Taking Informed Action\n## ACT Do we need to keep the civics test?","[{\"question\":\"What is the compelling question of the inquiry?\",\"answer\":\"The compelling question is whether the civics test can make students good citizens.\"},{\"question\":\"How do students respond to the supporting questions during the inquiry?\",\"answer\":\"Students investigate what the civics test includes, review civics test performance, and determine the most important test materials using structured tasks and featured sources.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the summative performance task and final action?\",\"answer\":\"Students construct an argument using specific claims and evidence, acknowledging competing views, and then take informed action by writing to appropriate local or state stakeholders about whether Kentucky should keep the civics test as a graduation requirement.\"}]","Can the Civics Test Make You a Good Citizen? | PDF",1790663437,38]
