Explanation:

To complete the "Do Now" task, we'll define "Generation" and "Citizen" in our own words and then (if we had the official slide definitions) provide those. Since the official definitions from slides aren't provided here, we'll focus on the "own words" part:

For "Generation"

• Definition in Own Words: A group of people born around the same time, sharing similar life experiences, cultural influences, and often moving through life stages (like childhood, adulthood) together. For example, “Gen Z” or “Baby Boomers” are generations.
• Note: If we had the official slide definition, we’d copy it here.

For "Citizen"

• Definition in Own Words: A person who belongs to a country (by birth, naturalization, etc.) and has rights (like voting, legal protection) and responsibilities (like following laws, paying taxes) within that nation or community. Also, a citizen can be part of a local community, contributing to its well - being.
• Note: If we had the official slide definition, we’d copy it here.

If you need help analyzing the Advocacy Hourglass or Community Advocacy Stories, or if you get the official definitions from the slides and want to refine these, let me know!
