**Tuesday, 11/23** **Agenda:** Students will begin to shape the purpose and action of their global issue project

//Activities:// - **Project Purpose:** Before you graduate from CSIHSIS you will complete a Senior Capstone Project. The SCP will involve identifying and thoroughly researching a global problem, suggesting a plan for solving this problem, and taking meaningful, legitimate action. This project may be a continuation of a previous project or interest (eg. Community service or academic work) or a brand new issue. The final result of this project will be a presentation to the community, an individual and personal reflection of the experience, and a reflection of your growth throughout high school towards meeting all the goals of the graduate profile. This project must involve serving or informing communities outside of CSI High School.

- **What is a global issue?** __**PROBLEM:**__ A global problem is a political, economical, social, or cultural issue that creates needs or conflict within a specific region or the global community as a whole. For the purposes of this project, you can focus on a issue outside of the United States.

- **What does it mean to identify solutions?** __**SOLUTION:**__ A solution to a global problem would be a sustainable plan that would eventually result in alleviating the global problem. The solution should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. Further, it should involve the communities that it is to serve in enacting positive change. __Raising money is not a solution to a problem.__ <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Times New Roman'; margin: 0px;">__Example Solutions:__
 * <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Times New Roman'; list-style-type: disc; margin: 0px;">Increasing access to portable water

<span style="font-family: Times,helvetica,sans-serif;">- <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">**How can I take action?**

As the action portion, you will implement the first steps towards your imposed solution. This may include sharing information, volunteering at a grassroots or non- profit organization, creating an artistic response that can engage the community in the problem, organizing, planning, and facilitating an informational or fund- raising event, producing a PSA or informational website, developing petition or letter- writing campaigns, or an educational/ service project of your own design.

For the purpose of this project your "Action" may be raising awareness

- THINK - PAIR - SHARE Work with the student next to you. Can you identify how the topic you have chosen and he project publishing choice you made can/will complete the above requirements? Explain to your partner what specific aspects of your project identify a global issue, how you will identify solutions and what actions you will take or ask of others.
