Purpose: It is not enough to become educated in historical injustice- we learn from them on how to act on current and future injustice in the world, and it does require action. You will need to get involved in order to make changes happen and to see that you can have an impact.
Method: This project will consist of three parts: 1. Research different social justice causes that have a presence in this area
2. Join, participate, and journal about your experience helping this cause, and
3. write a report and present your experience to the class at the end of the school year.
Time Commitment: The project will take you a bit of time to complete, so it is the only major project of its kind. It will take the most time during your participation (step 2) but should not exceed more than 2 hours a week.
Grading: This final project is 20% of your grade, and will count towards both first and second semesters, based on how well you complete your check points for each stage.
