Check understanding
- Describe how a group of citizens achieved a civic goal (e.g. a local petition for a pedestrian crossing, Clean Up Australia or a campaign for a new playground)
- Identify the shared beliefs and values that brought the group together
- Plan a class campaign for a civic goal, choosing methods such as a petition, a letter to a representative or an awareness poster
“Does your child know how people work together to change things in the community — like starting a petition for a new crossing — and could they plan a campaign of their own?”
