Lesson #3 - Lesson #3 - Social Action/Nonfiction

I have read and been inspired by a number of social action stories.  Here are links to read and discover on your own.  There is also a link for the documentary made about the O Ambassadors Club and MLK Club.  I hope you are moved by one.  Please write your lesson #3 blog post in response to someone that changed your thinking about life, and make sure you follow our nonfiction guidelines for your blog post mentioned below. 




One of my favorite magazines and online journals is Good.  They run a regular series called People Are Awesome and it's one of my favorites.  Please read one of these stories or about any of the following influential people and respond to them on your blog this week.  

1. A Chance for Victory - Documentary about O Ambassadors and MLK Club of SOMS ***This must be viewed at home.
2. Time Magazine 2015 Person of the Year
3. Teens Make a Difference Day
4. CNN Hero of the Year  And the top 10 CNN Heroes of 2015.

Approach the article  like an appreciation: what did you appreciate about this person? 

Also remember to consider the "extension" aspect of reading:                                                                                                            

• What is the author trying to say to you as a person? 
• What is the article/documentary truly about?
• What have you learned about this person?
• How has this person changed your thinking about life?
