Task 2: BrainPop on the Bill of Rights - as you watch, take 7 bullet point notes and write a 7 sentence summary of the video.
Collaborative (Voice Level .5 - 1) 40 minutes:
As a station, research feasible (doable) action plans on dosomething.org. What do these actions have in common? Which things can 12-17 year olds actually complete successfully?
After you have completed that activity, you will be working with your small groups to look at the issue you selected to solve in South Los Angeles. You need to begin brainstorming an Action Plan that you can present to your representative in government. If you are asking them to make a law to help solve the problem, you need to show them that you are working to solve it too!
At the end of this station, reflect on the objective you just worked to complete. On your paper you need to write whether or not you met the objective AND how you know this. For example, "Yes, I met the objective because I was able to annotate and I am confident I answered at least 8 of the 9 questions correctly."
