THE SPIRIT OF REFORMModern day connections through Service As Action

SOCIAL REFORM – CHAPTER 15, LESSON 1PAGES 404-407

For pages 0-1, students create a foldable from Chapter 15, Lesson 1 (covers pages 404-407) and answer the guiding questions from the book.Page 1 sections off the reading into topics shown to the left. Notes are taken under the flaps and on the outside is the title and a reflective question from the reading.Page 0 has students answer the guiding questions after they read. Answers should restate the questions.

THE ABOLITIONISTS – CHAPTER 15, LESSON 2PAGES 408-414

For pages 2-3, students are given a summary of part 1 of the reading (covers pages 408-410) and should complete the Cornell Notes.Student page is “on your own,” but should be thorough.

THE ABOLITIONISTS – CHAPTER 15, LESSON 2PAGES 408-414

For pages 4-5, students are given a summary of part 2 of the reading (covers pages 411-414) and should complete the Cornell Notes.Student page is a fictional MYP Service as Action page that one of the Abolitionists being studied might have created. Look at the next slide as a general guideline.

This fictional Service as Action Activity is easily created on Managebac. Students recreate something like this except the student is one of the abolitionists and the Organization would be the Underground Railroad or an Abolition Society, etc.

Students should draw this out. It does not have to be created on the website and downloaded.

It should also include a reflection similar to the next page.

Page 4 of the Interactive Notebook

The reflection would talk about why they were interested in joining or creating this kind of reform movement.

This will be a model for students to use when creating their own or becoming involved with a modern day reform movement.
