Teacher Notes

Students really care about the issue they want their actions to help address. They might care about social issues in one or more of these areas:  

  • Animal care (e.g. wildlife rescue; wildlife habits; options for when a pet owner can no longer look after his or her pet) 
  • Economy (e.g. rethinking work and enterprise opportunities for young people; giving students opportunties to show their job creator habits while still at school) 
  • Environment (e.g. the use of natural resources; recycling; water pollution) 
  • Education (e.g. reimagining student learning; overcoming barriers to students accessing equipment/ expertise to expand their learning opportunities) 
  • Health (e.g. food choices; activity; wellbeing) 
  • Housing (e.g. homelessness) 

How can students contribute to solving some of these problems or one they have identified themselves?
