This week, students are creating solutions to their chosen problems. Below is a timeline and a set of guiding questions to help students work autonomously in their groups.

I wanted to host an activism panel in which groups and individuals came in to talk about activist strategies with students. However, posting a list of people I may have invited into the school may actually be more effective in a couple of ways. 1) People may be more likely to help over the phone or when discussing a particular project with a group that has already developed (or is in the process of developing) their vision. 2) It gives students ownership over the process of reaching out. They can choose who they want to contact and take the initiative themselves...something I have been trying to push this year! Below is a list of resources (people/groups to call) by community.
Socially Conscious Children's Books (Note: I have hard copies of these. I will leave them with the substitute. Ask her/him if you want to read one. Please keep them in the class.)

Today, like the rest of the time this week, students are working in groups to accomplish the tasks that must be completed this week. Agenda
Reflections
Today, students form groups for their action research project and begin to make their research plan, including which research methods will be used and how they will conduct their research. Agenda
Reflections
Today, students completed a problem tree as a class as a way to examine root causes of social problems. Students were encouraged to use this strategy with the communities they will be working with for their action research project. Agenda
Reflections
This lesson allows students to test out the application of the research methods they learned about in the last class in a low-stakes environment. Students were told it was okay to make mistakes, as it's easier to learn from them than for me to tell you what to do and what not to do. Agenda
Today's lesson introduced students to 4 methods of data collection: interview, survey/opinion poll, observation journal, and mapping through the use of stations. Agenda
Reflections
This lesson introduces students to participatory action research through a chunking and summarizing worksheet. Agenda
Reflections
This lesson featured additional team-building activities with more of a focus on listening and nonverbal communication skills. To get students interested in improv, it might be fun to show a clip from Whose Line is it Anyway? Here is one on party quirks. Agenda
