Over the course of this unit you will identify a problem facing your neighborhood/town/community, research the causes of this problem, and develop an action plan to begin addressing that problem by working towards a solution. Your final project proposal will take the form of a PowerPoint (unless you decide to present it in a different way, see Alternative Assignments).\nTopic: Identify a problem in your local community, and create a plan your local government can use to start fixing that problem.\nFormat\nThis project will be completed in two parts.\nPart 1: An outline using the template at the bottom of this post will be turned in at the end of lesson 9 as a rough draft. Your outline does not have to have complete sentences, but must give a clear idea of what your problem is, and how you plan to solve it.\nPart 2: Your final PowerPoint presentation on your plan will be due at the end of Lesson 14 at the end of the unit. This presentation must have:\nA title slide\nAt least 7 content slides (not including the title and works cited)\nAn MLA formatted works cited slide at the end.\nAt least three pictures that are related to the content of the slide.\nNote: If you don’t have PowerPoint, you can also use GoogleSlides or \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.libreoffice.org/\" \\h \u0014LibreOffice,\u0015 which are free.\nAlternative Assignments\nIf you don’t want to do a PowerPoint, or wish to challenge yourself, you can consider the following (note, if you want to take any of these options, you must contact me first so we can go over your plan):\nRecord a video of yourself explaining your town’s problem and presenting your proposal.\nWrite a report on your town’s problem and your proposed solution\nCreate a website or blog that educates visitors about the problems faced by your town, and sells them on your solution.\nOther\nProject Breakdown\nStep 1-Learning about your Local Government and Identifying a Problem\nProbably the hardest part of this project will be figuring out what you want to do it on. To be successful, it’s important to learn about your local government.\nFor many of you who live outside of Boston, your local government is the government of the town you live in. For those of you who live in Boston, your local government is the district you live in.\nYou should start by using the \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://docs.google.com/document/d/15Do1_EM-Dib9pcpP2TugsIEfP0-B9WNAktEVt4aJrh4/copy\" \\h \u0014Civic Action Project note packet\u0015 to help gather some basic information about your community where you live. Fill out Part 1 to get the necessary background information (note: most of this information can be found on your community’s website or Wikipedia page).\nOnce you have that background information, you can then move on to part 2 of the note packet, and start brainstorming what problem you want to focus on for your project. Your problem needs to:\nEffect members of your community\nNot have already been solved\nBe a problem that is reasonably dealt with by your local community. (Cleaning up a polluted river makes sense, preventing global terrorism does not).\nIf you get stuck, here are some ideas:\novercrowded animal shelters\npoor-quality school lunches with low nutritional values\npeople driving too fast on residential streets\ncriminal activity in nearby vacant homes\ncigarette advertisements near schools\nhomelessness\nparks filled with litter\nstudents in wheelchairs not being able to get into the school bleachers\ndrunk driving\nStep 2-Creating Your Outline/ Discussion\nNow that you have some research ideas, and you know what problem you want to solve, you can start working on your rough draft of your PowerPoint (note: the rough draft is just an outline, you don’t need to make a PowerPoint yet).\nYou can use the \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OthkVHwOQ9GeAYVk4gUck1S0gpL1SLxkYtZA_3FWKeg/copy\" \\h \u0014Outline Template\u0015 I provided to","cbCaimr5FvtJSSAK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimr5FvtJSSAK","docx",23870,"English","# Project Overview\n## Project Format (Two Parts)\n### Part 1: Outline Draft\n### Part 2: Final PowerPoint\n## Presentation Requirements\n## Alternative Assignments\n# Project Breakdown\n## Step 1: Learn Local Government and Identify a Problem\n## Step 2: Create Your Outline and Discussion\n## Step 3: Create the PowerPoint","[{\"question\":\"What is the overall goal of the Civic Action Project?\",\"answer\":\"Identify a problem in your local community, research its causes, and create a plan your local government can use to start fixing it.\"},{\"question\":\"What must be included in the final PowerPoint presentation?\",\"answer\":\"It must have a title slide, at least seven content slides, an MLA formatted works cited slide, and at least three pictures or visuals related to the content.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the two parts of the project and their deadlines?\",\"answer\":\"Part 1 is an outline draft submitted at the end of Lesson 9.
