In this week's introduction, you learned about magical amulets and elixirs. Consider the power of these helpful amulets and elixirs as you learn about the KIPP program, a school program centered on providing a robust education to students, no matter their past academic performance or socioeconomic situation. Watch and enjoy the results of this journey!
For Part I of the Discussion, identify a charitable or volunteer organization other than KIPP that provides help to people in need of support. Once you identify this organization, write a short paragraph that informs us about this group. Be sure to:
- Summarize the group's goals and programs.
- Explain/Illustrate how this organization could be an "elixir" or "amulet" to one person's life.
- Explain why you would like to help this organization out and why others might want to do the same.
Review the Project instructions. To prepare for the upcoming Unit 3 Project, list at least 2-3 people you know who are courageous and why they might be courageous. Select from that list the one person that you will write about in your upcoming unit 3 Project. Post a preliminary thesis about this person, indicating in one clear sentence one event in this person's life where he or she was courageous and how this person was courageous in that event.
