The document provides guidance for students on activities related to social reform movements. It includes instructions for students to create an interactive notebook with foldable pages summarizing readings about abolitionists and the Underground Railroad. It also provides a template for a fictional "Service as Action" project page that students can fill out from the perspective of an abolitionist, describing their involvement in a reform movement. Finally, it lists ideas for students to take action as part of researching and getting involved with a modern social reform movement, such as participating in organization events, advocating through social media or petitions, and donating time or money.

1. THE SPIRIT OF REFORM
Modern day connections through Service As Action

2. SOCIAL REFORM – CHAPTER 15, LESSON 1
PAGES 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.

3. THE ABOLITIONISTS – CHAPTER 15, LESSON 2
PAGES 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.

4. THE ABOLITIONISTS – CHAPTER 15, LESSON 2
PAGES 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.

5.  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

6.  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.
