| Abstract | Challenges to the value of active civic engagement are an increasingly common phenomenon in introductory American government courses as there is a rise in populist sentiment and a lethargic democratic public. Traditional methods of civic participation and ideal citizenship are difficult to model and teach against this backdrop. Here, we offer instructors a curricular approach that teaches the fundamentals of American government while recognizing students' roles in a politically dynamic and contentious environment. This semester-long portfolio project, called iCitizen, incorporates exercises in practical political communication, comparisons to historical and fictional systems of citizenship, and personal reflections on ideology and political participation designed to cultivate students' civic skills and conceptual understanding. Assignments are progressive and experiential in nature, requiring students to actively engage in common civic and political experiences and pathways. In this way, the portfolio exposes students to fundamental questions of politics and citizenship, which can challenge populism's core charge that "the people" are ignored in favor of elites. In this article, we provide a description of the portfolio, logistical and practical considerations for instructors, and preliminary thoughts on the portfolio's effectiveness. (As Provided). |
