Activity

Using geometric shapes I would ask students to work on making a poster on a movement they want to fight for. I would assign students to include images and be creative using their shapes as well as write or prepare a statement why did they choose their movement and why is it important? What are some things they would like to know more and what are some steps they could take to make a change in our country?
