Social Movement
Some of this semester has been about social movements (many other movements are on the other side of this paper as options for part I) that brought great change to the United States. Here is your chance to offer what you would change about Free State High School. There is no doubt there ARE things that could be changed for the better and some of you have legitimate grievances with regard to certain aspects of your education here. So, in the spirit of those who came before you, those who risked so much, and those who accomplished so much – what would you do?
1) What is the problem?
2) Why does it need to be changed?
3) What changes would you make?
4) How would you bring about that change?
5) How will this change benefit those affected by it?
6) How will you know if the change worked, if it actually benefitted those most in need of the change?
Musical Performer (Again)
Performer will come from Motown, Rap, 70s Rock n Roll, 70s Disco, 80s New Wave/Punk, 80s Hair Bands, 90s Grunge or some other approved genre.
