#  Example 4-1: Visual Cues (civics) 

 



 *Kathleen FitzGerald teaches civics, government, and senior projects at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School at Cambridge, MA. She developed assorted kinds of light-touch applications of the 10 Questions framework, which might be useful for introductory points. Originally aimed at high school students, these activities are transferable to middle school students, too.*

 **Concept Map.** After watching [Danielle Allen’s video about the 10 Questions](https://youtu.be/D6ttCiWtGp0) (about 7 minutes) together with students, she made use of a concept map approach to help student better understand each question. See the two images listed below about Question #1 (“Why does it matter to me?”) and Question #2 (“How much should I share?”)
