Complete your CAP file carefully. It contains most of the information you need to finish your assessment. Choose one of these issues to research:
Bullying

A state or local issue of your choice, with teacher and parent or guardian approval
Choose one of these formats for your presentation:
letter to a newspaper editor
slideshow presentation
Your presentation should address all the following questions:
What is your chosen issue?
Why is this issue a problem in your state or local area?
What government agencies and citizen groups would likely address the issue?
How will you know the problem is solved?
What are the public policy alternatives to address the issue?
What is one positive and one negative outcome for each possible policy alternative?
What is the best plan to get the policy enacted?
How can citizens get involved to help enact the policy?
Include your sources of information.

Set time aside to revise your work. Reviewing your work with a trusted adult or friend may help you identify areas that need improvement. Keep in mind that your goal is to write in a formal style, as if your work will be presented to government officials.
Save your work to one file to submit to your instructor. Use the name "Issue_Presentation_your name" for your file to turn in.
