Project Description
Our school, our community and our country needs young people using their voices for issues they are encountering. For this project, the students will be identifying an issue that they have at East Middle School. The lessons will include Greek and Roman government, how to address an issue by defining the issue with details, understanding how and who needs to hear their voice and what actions are necessary to solve the issue. By learning about complex organizations as part of the five characteristics of civilization, students will actively engage in the process of change in our school building, in our school district and possibly decide to include the local government.
