IT'S NOT TOO LATE....PLEASE SEE ME OR CONTACT ME FOR HELP GETTING CAUGHT UP IN THIS CLASS IF YOU ARE BEHIND.

THERE IS ONLY ONE LESSON REMAINING AFTER TODAY!

Lesson Objectives

Today you will:


 * 1) Complete your final project (update and transfer all of your conferencing topics to your blog)
 * 2) Reflect on what you have learned and apply the 12 steps of recovery to citizenship

**Step 1A: Create a blog for your online journal** (WHAT YOU SEE BELOW IS FROM A PREVIOUS LESSON -- IF YOU HAVE ALREADY STARTED YOU ONLY NEED TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR STEP 1B)

 As part of your final project you are going to create an online journal blog. Your online journal is where you will write down all of your thoughts and ideas on topics covered in this class. Your completed journal will act as a portfolio of your ideas showing your civic identity. **The completed project will be approximately 30% of your final grade.**

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive"> The final conferencing topic is a summary reflection of everything you have learned and acquired in this course. You will also need to reflect on how citizenship applies to the principles of recovery and vice versa. Please be open and honest in your post as your comments will help me improve this course in the future. Below is a list of what you should include in your reflection. Thanks! <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">
