Work in a group of 2-3 students to identify a community project you want to address. Develop an action plan (planning worksheet linked below) to come up with solutions. Click here for sample project ideas.
Think about our local community:
What do you like most about where you live?
Is there room for improvement?
Think of one thing you'd like to change. What is it?
How can we actively participate in our local government to improve our community?
Tri-Fold Board Requirements: Your group's final product will be creating a colorful and visually appealing tri-fold board that clearly presents your local action plan. Use your planning worksheet as a guide.
Use Canva or Google Slides to design your board!
Your board must accomplish the following-
Identify the issue and impacted group;
Important details about your issue;
Proposed, realistic solutions;
A project timeline
Marketing strategies (ex. social media); and
