If for their summative performance task the students wrote plans for telling a civic story, they will take informed action by actually carrying out these plans. However they choose to do so, they will tell civic stories to other students at their school. 

Because the students will have chosen different mediums for telling their civic stories, the end products of this activity will be diverse. For the sake of time and practicality, you may decide to limit the students’ storytelling medium choices. Consider whether you want the taking informed action to be an individual or group project, how much time you want to dedicate to it, and what resources are available to you and to your students. However you decide to reshape this activity to meet your classroom’s needs, just be sure to incorporate these criteria into the students’ summative performance task, as well. For example, if you do not want your students to tell their stories through a play, they should know this before they write their storytelling plans. 

This taking informed action activity is not designed to serve as a civics assessment, but depending on which medium(s) you have your students use for this project, it may serve as an assessment opportunity for other disciplines (e.g. English, speech, photography, art, etc.).
