What do you consider the most important information or idea(s)
Review Questions
1. Do you have questions about any of last week’s readings: 1. Youth to Power Chapter 11, particularly pages 138-144 and 149-150 and 2.Challenge Everything Part 3 (pages 69-103) – Challenge Government.
2. What do you consider the most important information or idea(s) in Youth to Power Chapter 11 (social media for social action)?
3. Did reading the Challenge Government section of Challenge Everything change your mind or inspire you in any way about climate change and/or about activism?
4. What genres are you considering for your final assignment? We have already considered a short story (“The Precedent”) and a piece of non-fiction writing, possibly on the model of the three sections of Challenge Everything. In the last two weeks before Spring Break, we will consider a TED talk and a children’s book. But there are other possibilities. What possibilities are you considering?
