Citizenship Reflection

Here is the writing prompt for your Citizenship Reflection.  Please title it "Citizenship Reflection."  When you label, or tag, this reflection, please label it with Humanities6.

This is due for homework tomorrow, Thursday, 9/10/15.  Please see me with any questions, comments, challenges, or concerns.

• Be Kind: Rewind for Responsibility
• Lots of little things make up good behavior, such as not littering, keeping quiet when people need to concentrate, and returning library books on time.

• Writing Prompt: Try to think of a situation in which you fulfilled one of the small responsibilities. Think of another situation in which you did not fulfill a small responsibility. Are the "little" things really that important? Why or why not?  Write this reflection on your blog.  If you don’t have your iPad, write it on paper and turn into the “Exit Ticket” basket.
