Manifesto of Responsible Citizenship
You are going to create a manifesto (a type of declaration) of responsible citizenship. You are to produce a document much like the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in which they outline the characteristics of a responsible citizen in Canadian society. It may include lists or a series of statements. Your manifesto must also include symbols of citizenship and the nation.
You may use the original as a guide, but are expected to come up with new ideas, statements and expectations! The original Charter, for example, was written in the early 1980s; our world has changed a great deal since then.
You are expected to develop a minimum of ten different statements of responsible citizenship in Canada.
Your checklist:
Title is clearly stated
Ten statements of Canadian responsibilities (minimum).
Appropriate symbols of citizenship and the nation (at least four).
