THIS WEEK
We’re thinking about
the question:
“How can we support and encourage our community during difficult times?”
Your challenge this week is to design and perform an “Uplifting Action” to support and encourage your community.
Let's Get Started!
You’ve already created your “Action Plan” that describes your “Uplifting Action.”
When someone sees your plan, they should see:
​
-
You are using a passion (what you love) and a skill (what you're good at) to do something that encourages and brings joy to your community based on what they need
-
It’s possible to carry out your plan
-
A sketch that shows what your action will be, look like, or do

Look at this student’s "Action Plan”:
​
-
Does the plan use a passion (what they love) and skill (what they are good at) to do something that encourages and brings joy to their community based on what it needs?
-
Does it seem possible to execute this plan within the limits?
-
Does the sketch represent the proposed action?
Your challenge this week: Design and perform an “Uplifting Action” to support and encourage your community.
Today, you will explore your “Action Plan” to check if you are meeting your goal.
Pencils down! This is a thinking exercise!
Look at your “Action Plan” and ask:
-
Does the plan use a passion (what you love) and skill (what you're good at) to do something that brings joy to your community based on what they need?
-
Does it seem possible to execute this plan within the limits?
-
Does the sketch represent the proposed action?
Wait, still don’t touch your work! First, complete one of these sentences on a separate piece of paper or directly on your “Action Plan”:
-
I will add…
-
I will try…
-
I will adjust…
Now, make the changes you explained above on your “Action Plan.”
Be sure to save your “Action Plan” so you can use it to guide you when you perform your “Uplifting Action.”
