Wat I Civc Dut?

Have you ever seen a tapestry? It is made of many colors

and textures. The threads are joined together , stitch by stitch.

When those threads are woven, they become one work of art.

Civic duty is like that. This is the responsibility each

person has for the whole community. Just like a tapestry ,

people come together to serve their communities . They can

serve on juries, helping to make courtroom decisions. They

pay taxes. They can vote. They can serve in the

armed

forces.

They can follow laws and know their rights. All

these things are part of civic duties.

You may not be able to do all these things yet. But there

are other ways you can serve your community. You have your

own civic duties.

These woven threads

form a tapestry .

These people

serve on a jury.

Where Did It Come From?

The word

civics

comes from two Latin words or phrases.

The first is

civis,

a citizen of ancient Rome. The second

is

corona civica

, a word for a type of crown . The crown

was given to a person who saved someones life. It

showed that they helped people in their community.

Yes! If I run, I wont be late to school again,

Ali yelled. He grabbed his backpack and bolted

out the door and down the street, running as

fast as his legs could carry him. He had already

been given a warning for being late. He might

get kicked off the track team! This was his last

chance, and he wasnt going to blow it.

The cool breeze whipped Alis hair as he picked up

speed and imagined he was a champion runner on a

racetrack. Track was his favorite sport. Ali sighed. One

day, he promised himself, Ill be an Olympic champion

runner. But first, he needed to get to school on time.

Ali stopped suddenly when he saw Mr. Patel, his

elderly neighbor, lying in the middle of the road. A car

was coming. The driver might not see him on the road!
