Research Question:<\/strong><\/em> How have high school requirements for civic engagement changed and affected students’ long-term civic engagement?<\/p>\n Relevance:<\/strong><\/em>Today, more and more high schools are requiring their students to participate in community service. While it is obvious to me why one should be involved in their community, to others it might seem like a burden or chore. Given the different takes on civic engagement, it is important to know how it actually affects students, not just in their future participation, but in the rest of their daily lives. Many times I have seen students fight the requirement, dissatisfied with the administration’s reasoning for the coerced sense of volunteering, I would like my research to demonstrate the benefits and any cons that I may discover. Ultimately, I would like to know how civic engagement, whether voluntary or involuntary, shapes high school students into citizens.<\/p>\n Finding Resources: <\/strong><\/em>First I searched through Google Scholar to find some articles, but I found more on civics courses or service learning, but I found one article, the first listed in my bibliography. From there, I looked through that article’s bibliography and found some potentially useful readings. I also looked through the Education Week newspaper I picked up in class last week and found an article entitled, \u201cRestoring Civic Purpose in Schools,\u201d which I could also potentially use. I also used JSTOR, ERIC (which is where I found my first article), and searched through the Education Week website. I also used the education section of the NY Times and the Hartford Courant. Some of the search terms I utilized to find the resources I have thus far are the following \u201ccivic engagement high school\u201d, \u201ccommunity service required high school\u201d, \u201ccommunity service high school\u201d, and \u201ccivic service.\u201d I plan to make an appointment with a librarian to help me narrow my search and find more information on this recent high school movement to be civically engaged.<\/p>\n Bibliography:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n D\u00e1vila, Alberto, and Marie T.
