This project focuses on exploring how young people have made positive changes in the world around them, and empowering our class to become positive changemakers, too. In part one of this project, students researched and wrote about one young person who has made a positive change in their community or in the world. Throughout this process, we worked with a team of 6th grade students from High Tech Middle. Students were paired with a critical friend who offered critique and support through email and Google Docs. The essays from both teams of students were published in a book that was designed and produced completely by students. In part two of this project, students worked to identify a problem in their community or in the world and then to take action to make a positive change.
