Action Project
Action projects have been designed to help students to develop the skills of active citizenship. The key word here is ACTION. An Action Project involves the following steps:
students investigate an issue as a class
students reflect collectively on what they might do in response to that issue
students agree upon an action and carry it out, e.g. carry out a survey, organise a campaign, invite a guest speaker, organise a visit, publish a booklet, etc.
students evaluate their action and learning.
Action projects are not traditional projects where students research their own individual topic and present their findings in a scrapbook.
Writing up Your Action Project
While action projects are carried out as part of a group, each student will write up an individual report in their own words.
