🏅 Phase 4 — Discovery
📝 Quiz & Badge
⏱ 8 minutes
Task 8 — Personal Discovery
Before you move on — take a moment to see what has stayed with you. A 5-question check, a completion card, and a DigComp badge: Active Citizenship — Level 1.
Step 1 — What you discovered today
🏅 Phase 4 — Personal Synthesis
Today you explored a real civic dilemma — a decision that affects real people in a real community. You investigated the arguments on both sides, weighed the evidence, and formed your own position.
You learned that democracy is not something that happens around you — it is something you take part in. You learned that citizens have specific tools: petitions, meetings, objections, campaigns. And you learned that young people have used exactly those tools to change real decisions.
You discovered that not everything you read or hear about a civic issue is equal. Some statements are facts you can verify. Some are honest opinions you can agree or disagree with. And some are designed to manipulate rather than inform.
Now — before you move on — take a moment to check what has stayed with you.
5-question quiz — mixed format
Q1 of 5
0 / 5 answered
Question 1 of 5 · Multiple choice Auto-marked
What is the correct definition of civic engagement?
A
Following news on social media
B
Obeying the laws of your country
C
Actively participating in decisions that shape your community
D
Paying taxes
Correct! Civic engagement means actively taking part in decisions that shape your community — not just following, obeying or contributing financially. Democracy depends on people participating, questioning and acting.
Not quite. The correct answer is C: actively participating in decisions that shape your community. Following the news or paying taxes are valuable, but civic engagement means going further — questioning, speaking and acting.
Question 2 of 5 · Multiple choice Auto-marked
Which of the following is an example of PROPAGANDA — not a fact or opinion?
A
The council has a legal obligation to balance the budget
B
We believe community needs should come before savings
C
Anyone who supports the closure is an enemy of young people
D
The youth centre serves 200 people per week
Correct! Option C attacks people personally rather than addressing the argument — a classic propaganda technique. It is designed to make you angry at opponents, not think about the issue. A and D are facts; B is an honest opinion.
Not quite. The correct answer is C: "Anyone who supports the closure is an enemy of young people." This attacks people personally instead of engaging with the argument — the defining feature of propaganda. A and D are verifiable facts; B is an honest opinion ("we believe").
Question 3 of 5 · True or False Auto-marked
"Young people under 18 have no legal way to participate in civic decisions."
Correct — FALSE. Young people can sign petitions, attend public meetings, contact representatives and organise community campaigns — all legal civic actions. Civic power has no minimum age.
FALSE — not true. Young people can sign petitions, attend public meetings, contact representatives and organise community campaigns — all legal civic actions. Civic power has no minimum age requirement. The three real examples in Task 6 showed this in practice.
Question 4 of 5 · Short answer Teacher assessed
Describe one difference between a fact and an opinion, using an example from the Youth Centre dilemma.
ℹ️ There is no auto-correct for this question — your teacher will read and assess your response using a rubric. Write clearly and use a specific example from the lesson.
0 / 200
Your teacher will review this answer. Rubric: 1 mark for a correct distinction between fact and opinion, 1 mark for a valid example from the Youth Centre dilemma.
Question 5 of 5 · Short answer Teacher assessed
Name one civic action a young person could realistically take in response to the Youth Centre decision. Explain why it could be effective.
ℹ️ Your teacher will read and assess this. Be specific — name a tool from Task 6 and explain what it does and why it could work for this particular situation.
0 / 200
Your teacher will review this answer. Rubric: 1 mark for a realistic civic action, 1 mark for a valid explanation of why it could be effective in this specific case.

"You have explored, investigated, decided and checked what stayed with you. Now one final step: take what you learned and do something with it. In Phase 5 you will create a real civic communication — the kind of thing a citizen would actually make and send."
