This assignment is super engaging for students as they learn about rights and responsibilities of citizens in the USA and create a social media post about one to share on their social media profiles. Students can create videos, images or stories about a right or responsibility that is important to them to share with their followers on their social media. It is a great way for students to use technology they are already familiar with to teach others about important issues.
