The time has finally come! It’s ACTION TIME! This week we have been working on our actions for exhibition. Action is when we take the topic we have been studying and we use that to try to make a difference in our community and the world. The actions that our classmates have been working on are really cool and of all different type.
For instance, Mitchell and Zachary’s topic is “How soccer helps under-privileged kids come together.” The idea is that by getting kids from different background; kids who would not usually like each other or even talk to each other, to play together, it will make the kids become friends and develop understanding. Their action is going to be to donate soccer equipment to under-privileged kids in Galveston and other areas around Houston through the Dynamo Charities Program. They are working with the Dynamo to gather equipment that will go to soccer underprivileged kids. Now that is making a difference!
Another example is what Aneil and Bowen are doing. Their topic “Biofuels” For their action, they made flyers about biofuels and handed them out at a local gas station to educate customers about the benefits of biofuels. They encouraged people to push their politicians to require more development of biofuels from renewable sources. They also are making a website about biofuels. The website isn’t done yet but the address will be http://www.biofuels-101.webs.com/ . See even kids can make a difference in their community!

ReplyDeleteMy topic is modern day slavery, and for my action wih my partners, Stone, and Julio, we intererveiwed Maria, the executive direcor for the Houston Rescue and Restore Coalition and videotaped it so we could post it on the exhibion website, and it is above the comments (it's the one with the orange backround and blue lettering) so, please watch the video, and spread the word about modern day slavery!
ReplyDeleteMy topic is Child Labor. For our action my partner and I took the Vow of Silence for the whole day and had the WHOLE SCHOOL be silent during lunch. For the Vow of Silence my partner and I made a power point and presented it during lunch. I found out how hard it is to stay silent when you have SOOO much to say. The action we are about to do is to go to classrooms in grades 3-5, talk to them how dreadful child labor is, and have them sign a petition that is against the companies that use child labor to make their products. Some of those companies are Wal-mart, Puma, and JCPenny. That is what we are doing to make a difference!!
ReplyDeleteMy topic is Biofuels. For or action, my partner and I made a website that educates the reader about the good and bad things about biofuels. Also, toadvertise our website, we went to a Chevron gas station and handed out flyers that told them a little about biofuels and told them that if they wanted to learn more about biofuels, they could go to our website, http://biofuels-101.webs.com
