Step 1 · The frame

Define the civic concept

Every Civic Literacy essay defines a civic concept up front. Restate the prompt in your own words and write a one-sentence working thesis.

  • Name the concept (e.g. 'movements for political change', 'international cooperation').
  • Your thesis should preview the pattern across your three eras — not just list them.
  • Aim for ~35 words. Vague theses cap your score at a 6.
