Journal Day 1: The power of story as a vehicle for civic engagement is a powerful tool. The conversation with Michele Norris was an incredible dialogue of why listening and sharing are two of our most valuable human resources. The issues explored today that are of most interest to me are the Race Card Project with the Six-Word Essays and the History of Your Community in 100 Objects. The issues that most influence the students, teachers and the community are the tolerance of each other’s differences.

Journal Day 2: The teacher’s role & responsibility in teaching all students to be civically engaged is to provide meaningful opportunities for guest speakers to come into the classroom and arrange field trips for students to visit in the community for an awareness of how they can help their communities be a better place to live by making it relevant for students.

Journal Day 3: Community Profile of Carson City, Nevada Systems: Communications, Economy, Education, Government, Healthcare, History, Housing, Human Services, Recreation & Attractions, Taxes, and Transportation.
