Discuss with the class why it is effective to have a group of people, rather than one person, fighting for a cause. As a class or in small groups, find a cause you think is worth fighting for, either in your own school or in your local town. Students record the challenges they face as they work their way towards making a difference. If teaching at the grade 6 level, use the following link for lesson plan ideas. Upper grade teachers may refer to this link and modify ideas to make grade appropriate.
