- Media Literacy – Media literacy is the skill of reading, questioning and creating media: news, ads, videos, posts, films and games. Every media text is made by someone, for a purpose, for an audience, using forms, conventions and techniques that shape how we feel. A media-literate person checks the source, evidence, other coverage and the original before believing or sharing, notices bias and filter bubbles, and makes their own media responsibly.
- Civics and Government: How Citizens and Governments Work Together – Civics is the study of how people govern themselves and how citizens take part. In a democracy, power comes from the people, who choose representatives in free elections. Government has three branches: the legislature makes laws, the executive carries them out and the judiciary checks they follow the constitution. Most countries also have levels of government (local, state or provincial, national), each with its own jobs. A law starts as an idea, becomes a bill, is debated and voted on, and gets final approval. Citizens have rights, such as free speech and voting, and responsibilities, such as obeying laws and respecting others. Active citizens stay informed, vote, volunteer and work peacefully for change.
