Getting to Know the Community
Getting to Know the Community
Description:
This unit has students exploring the make-up of their community in regard to the four sectors of the economy (government, market, non-profit, and households). They will be doing a field study to explore what the community already has and also completing a needs inventory to uncover the needs of the community. They will then have the opportunity to take part in a simulation where they become members of a planning commission to design a sound community using zoning laws. Finally they will organize a community celebration in which members of the commercial community and local citizens are invited to celebrate together.
