05.06 - Research and Sources

Today in class, everyone had the period to work on finding sources for their research into a community issue they would like to address through a civic action project (past examples include encouraging exercise and physical well being by improving the town ice rink so that it would be used by more people). While everyone worked on this research, I met with people individually to talk through their project.
