H‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍ello Class, This week we will continue our reading of The Impossible, Parts One and Two. The chapters within these sections facilitate a deeper dive into the work of advocacy and promoting social change. For your assignment this week, you will focus specifically on one of the topics of your readings and create an advocacy campaign championing a cause related to your chosen chapter and topic. See more information below and in the “Assignment” tab (under “Assessments”). Since next week is our Fall Break, this assignment will not be due until Wednesday, October 13th at 11:59 PM. I hope you all enjoy some much-needed downtime! This week’s assignment will be based upon the readings from The Impossible, Sections One and Two. In each section, you are introduced to stories surrounding such concepts as hope, courage, or perseverance.
