A Civic Action Project (CAP) is a project-based learning program for civics and government that allows students to apply what they have learned to the real world and impact an issue that matters to them. There are typically 6 basic steps: 1) Decide, Introduce and Preview the steps of the project, 2) Select a Problem, 3) Research the Problem, 4) Plan the Project, 5) Do the Project, and 6) Evaluate the project (Teach Democracy’s “Implementing a Civic Action Project”)
