  2. Research a topic that will soon be debated online AND watch the debate using the knowledge you researched before to decide which side you agree with, OR pick an online article about an issue you care about and make three clickbait headlines (one positive, one negative, and one neutral) about it OR write down facts from the article and write a short retelling about the article from three points of view (someone impacted, someone helping, and someone making it worse).
  3. Choose a community you are already a part of and make a vision board of their values and what you hope for the future OR hold an award ceremony and award members of your community for their strengths and skills that help the community OR plan a digital community of your own with details of who would be in it, what apps and platforms you would use, and what rules and what to do if someone breaks the rules.
  4. Find community members willing to participate and hold a “Town Hall” in the community about an important topic, create a petition and get signatures enough to submit to authorities in charge of the topic of your petition, OR make digital content (video, meme, or poster) to get people thinking about an important topic or attend an event.
  5. Take what you did in requirement four and report to your troop OR analyze measurable data about how far of an impact your actions in requirement four went AND decide one thing you would do differently if you tried it again.
