○ Can stimulate and motivate change, when: people are disengaged with
community, a community is fractured, disempowered associations, cynicism
within agencies, when communities and staff want to change and need to see
the world differently in order to discover how they could.

I created a Google Sites website to showcase our students "Bottled Water Free Zone" campaign. I've tried to use the IDESIGN framework for organizing the information. You can check out the site (it includes links, more pics and a couple videos) at: https://sites.google.com/a/tdsb.on.ca/inglewood-heights-bwfz/home

My colleague, Melissa Hughes and I are working with our students to come up with some ideas for a social innovation project that our students will hopefully connect closely to. Since our last meeting, we have been sharing a variety of social innovation projects with our students which include - TOMS shoes and eyeglasses, Because I Am A Girl, Dove Campaign, and The Story of Bottled water. After many discussions and unpacking of information, our students felt strongly about how girls around the world were at a disadvantage simply because they were born a girl. They realize that they are lucky to be a girl living in Canada. After that, our girls were eager to find out more about issues that affected girls. We began our brainstorming and documenting their journey through the use of Google Docs. Our students first listed some issues that they knew about right from their prior knowledge and then we set up a organizer to get them researching about those issues to find out more facts. This is still the beginning stages, but both Melissa and I feel that they're on to something inspiring!

This collage represents our process so far to ignite interest and genuine concern in our class for a social justice issue. Our first task as a class was to have a discussion about what makes a Good Citizen and to define the word "Rights" as it pertains to humans and all living things. The next day we used "The Window to the World" Cards and each student chose an image that impacted them in any way. We talked about our images during community circle. After a break for recess, we narrowed the images down to four topics (with a little teacher guidance). 1.) Global poverty 2.) Animal Rights 3.) Health and Smoking 4.) Bullying. Next the students participated in the "four corners" activity. I placed one photo in each corner of the room and then asked the students to go to the photo they felt most strongly about wanting to make a change somehow in that area. After the students went, they could clearly see how many people were interested in each topic. Then we tallied the number of people at each photo and made graphs. It was very close between global poverty and animal rights, but there was one more person in the animal rights area. Over the next few days we read books about animals, mostly ones about endangered species. Together we read the article "13 Species We Might Have to Say Goodbye to in 2015" by Hyacinth Mascarenhas, from the "globalpost" website. Afterwards, the students wrote questions they had about the endangered animals that they would like to study in the days to come. So this is where our inquiry journey has started so far....the students are excited to continue with the process.
