It may be worked on individually, or in groups, with the intention of publishing and creating change in the school and community environment. Students may use speech, film, poetry, pictures ([|photovoice]), etc. (to be decided upon by the classroom) to carry the message of the changes they would like to see happen in their future.

 Students individual participation will be evaluated at the end of the unit with a 2-3 page reflection on their involvement with the project and their learning experience.
