Questions about Heroes of Citizenship
What does the Heroes of Citizenship worksheet cover?
It practices the civic virtue a historic citizen showed — 8 questions for Grade 3 to Grade 5, all on C3 Framework D2.Civ.8.3-5: Name the core civic virtues and democratic principles that guide a society. The instruction to students is “Read what each citizen did, then circle the quality it showed”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
Which C3 Framework indicator does Heroes of Citizenship practice?
D2.Civ.8.3-5, under Civics for Grade 3 to Grade 5. The published indicator reads: “Identify core civic virtues and democratic principles that guide government, society, and communities.” The worksheet assesses that indicator rather than a paraphrase of it.
What age or grade is this worksheet for?

Does Heroes of Citizenship come with an answer key?
Yes. All 8 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
How many different versions of Heroes of Citizenship can I print?
25 — one per student, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
