Purpose: The purpose of this week's discussion is for your to TALK TO YOUR TEAMMATES about the issue you have decided to tackle for your Civic Action Plan. That's it! I want you to tell each other about the issues to which you are drawn and why. Likewise, I want you to provide critical feedback and encouragement to each other regarding the issues your teammates have chosen.
Tell us about your topic in at least 150 words. What is your topic. What do you know. What don't you know. Looking forward what advice do you need about your topic. All that or more.
Engage with at least two other classmates to provide them with constructive ideas about their topic, critiques, or support. Be specific! Meaning, the basic "wow that is cool" or "why did you pick that" will not suffice.
FULL POINTS awarded to those who complete all the above steps.
