Goal for the day:To explore your beliefs about how change happens Today we'll spend most of the day working in our issue groups. I will pass out the assignment for your issue group presentations on October 7th and a workplan so you can divide up work and be efficient in putting everything together. The presentations offer the opportunity to be creative, but I've also given a list of specific things to include. Most of this is a matter of thinking. It doesn't require tons of outside research, but it does require applying the knowledge you have thus far and your logic and beliefs. With big, complex global issues, it helps to focus on something specific so you can feel like you're moving forward. By the end of class, you should identify one piece of your problem that you want to work on. This narrowing will actually open up a whole set of questions and options to consider. After break I'll share with you a project that I worked on which seemed big, complex, and impossible when we started out but ended up being effective at changing the way people think about transportation in Los Angeles and the interconnections between a variety of issues. Assignment for Monday, September 29th Work on your Issue Group Assignments. |
