Community Groups:

In Room 7 for our Civics and Citizenship unit, we have been focussing on rules and the purpose of local community groups. We discussed what makes people motivated to join and participate in these groups. For this task, students created their own fictional community group, giving their group a name and researching a Logo that matches their groups’ purpose. They were encouraged to state the overall goal of the group, the service they provide and how it may benefit the community. The students created two fundraising events to benefit the community, planning what the events would be and where they would take place. Finally, the students explained how the funds raised would be spent and put to good use.
