Each slideshow should have a slide for each student’s personal version of citizenship, economics and culture in which they list examples of how each of these 3 ideas happen in their own lives and families. A topic sentence in which the student states their idea of what the three topics means to them personally should precede the list itself (which should be a bulleted list of words or phrases not sentences).
