01

What Students Need to Do

Students use local evidence to define a civic problem and check what residents and officials have already tried. They listen to people affected, weigh proposals, and use public comment or a vote to recommend a next step.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can use a crossing tally and city records to support a proposal. They can answer an objection fairly and explain what residents can request and what the city must decide.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may think civil discussion means agreeing or avoiding hard questions. They may treat a personal story as enough evidence, or assume a class vote can make the city change a road.

04

How to Assess It

Exit ticket: Based on our crossing tally, should the city change this crossing? Name one action already tried, one concern from another viewpoint, and a way residents can request a change.

1. 01

   From school grounds, tally how many drivers yield at a nearby crosswalk for ten minutes, then mark the counts on a street map.

2. 02

   Read a local traffic rule, then write a response to a driver's objection using one count from the tally and a respectful question.

3. 03

   Use role cards to hold a mock council hearing: students, drivers, and wheelchair users testify; council members weigh evidence and vote on a crossing proposal.

4. 04

   Send the city transportation office a class letter with crossing counts, a proposed fix, and a question about steps the city has already taken.
