Welcome to Global Citizenship.  The instructors of the 8th grade at our middle school, in an effort to provide an opportunity for our students to reach outside of themselves toward a broader understanding of the world that they live in, wanted to create a place where our students could interact with other students from around the world.  This wiki page is the first step in that process.

The assignment:  Students will respond to questions posed.  These questions will come from administrators to begin and hopefully branch out into questions created by students themselves. 

The goal:  To provide an opportunity for students to interact with one another thereby gaining perspective of global attitudes on a variety of subjects. 

The rules:

1.  Remember this is an educational tool, not a social networking site.

2.  Mutual respect is a must since people will be posting their opinions and feelings (each person must feel this is a safe place in which to share their ideas).  Questions and answers that provoke thought about the topics are welcomed!

3.  Adhere to the idea of sharing appreciations for others ideas/opinions.  Put downs that serve to hurt WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
