I am offering extra credit for students who attend community events that I am at and approach me to get their name added to the list. Throughout the semester I will be announcing community events that I will be attending. Simply by attending the event and supplying me with adequate evidence that you were there will earn you AD on the Citizenship Standards C.12.14 Explain how political and social movements move public opinion & government support and C.12.10 Identify ways people participate in community affairs & the political process.
The first such event that I will attend will be as follows:
Save Public Schools
Community Strategy Session
Saturday, February 7th
9am - 12:30pm
MATC Downtown Campus
7th & State
Bring your parents and let them know if they RSVP (let the organizers know they will be there ahead of time) free childcare and pizza lunch will be provided.
RSVP by clicking the link below and filling out the electronic form, or call Lori Gall @ 414.861.8423.
Note: Students are encouraged to come to their own opinions on all issues and are encourage to come to me with different community events they would like to attend to show me they have meet these standards. Possible events could include: School Board Meetings, Common Council Meetings, Town Hall Meetings, Political Rallies (for any political party), volunteering for a community in some way. As long as it is run by me first and you are able to prove you were there I will give you credit for going above and beyond the curriculum.
