Out of Class Work

Faculty: Use this assignment to prepare students outside of the classroom for an advocacy project. If you want students to set up their own projects, consider using resources from the Student Guide to Working with Community Partners on Advocacy Projects.

  1. Read:

    1. Social Change Wheel (attached) and Definitions of Service-Learning and Advocacy

        • Based on the readings, how would you summarize advocacy?

        • How is advocacy related to service-learning? Is it service-learning?

        • What is the main idea of "Is there and Ethics Code for Storytelling?"

2. Worksheet: What Do You Care About?
