MIDTERM PART TWO: CREATING THE KCC SUMMER FREEDOM SCHOOL
For 10 points, you will create your own summer freedom school for high school students from your neighborhood. It will be a free, two-week summer school open to any high school student from your neighborhood. You are going to create and describe the top four courses you think would be most helpful for these students.
When you are thinking about what courses to create/choose/describe, think about:
• what they don’t know that they really should know
• what would be most helpful for them to succeed in their next steps of life
• what would be most helpful for them to navigate the current moment in this borough, city, country, world.
• what would be most helpful for them to survive whatever issues or conflicts they might have in their homes.
You can make up any courses you’d like or use courses that already exist, like “Introduction to Biology.” But remember that the courses have to make sense as a course where they could learn something useful for themselves in two weeks.
FORMAT FOR ASSIGNMENT:
Paragraph One: Name and describe your neighborhood where the high school students are coming from. What racial/ethnic groups are there? Are there any conflicts among these groups? Are there any issues with the police? What are the high schools like? Do they have the proper resources to give students what they need? What kinds of problems/challenges do these students face? How do YOU want to help them?
Paragraph Two: Give your first course a title and write one paragraph explaining why you think this is an important thing for the young people to learn about in your freedom school.
My Example: Freedom School Course: “Applying to College”
Explanation: Many students want to go to college but the process of learning about and applying to college is very complicated. This course will cover all the tests you need to take and do well on in high school (such as the SATs). There will be a session on City University of New York schools because they are local and inexpensive. There will be a session on private schools in the New York area. There will be a session on how to write college essays and fill out applications. There will be a session on how to get financial aid from different sources. Paragraph Three: describe your second course using the same format.
Paragraph Four: describe your third course using the same format.
Paragraph Five: describe your fourth course using the same format.
