GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP STRANDS in practice

CITIZENS JOURNALISM

Students podcast always with the community radio, authentic literacy component in mind when making inquiry or literacy choices, revising work, and publishing with purpose.  The radio station podcasts are organized around news, interviews, storytelling, and culture.

 

GLOBAL ISSUES COMPREHENSION

While facilitated, students are expected to find meaningful disciplinary literacy links to their community projects, leading to a richer experience with global issues and citizenship.

 

SYSTEMS THINKING

Understanding dynamic systems is a crucial component for students in finding leverage points for inquiry, research, and action.  Whether examining causal loop diagrams for the climate crisis or in looking at a more sustainable circular economic model, students can enter into issues and solutions with richer focus and understanding.

 

MINI-CAS

Reflection and revision in a service project builds meaningfulness and mindfulness into the project and leads to greater success in future endeavors. 

 

CITIZENS MAKERS

Students constantly consider the sustainability components of building while learning about DIY hands-on work:  Running student-led workshops for community service, integrating reusable and up-cycled materials, building purposefully for others, crafting with senior citizens, and so on.

 

 EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

The power of connecting one's service or project to the local community is evident in authenticity, meaning, responsibility, and engagement.

After examining narrative writing through reading "Global Perspectives" novels such as A Long Walk to Waterstudents branched out to find compelling Newsela articles centered on human rights and researched the related regional global issues.  Meshing their understanding of narrative writing, geography, and global issues, students produced a range of storytelling through story pitches, written narratives, screenplays, and audio stories.
