“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has” - Margaret Mead

Inspirational people across the world fight for the rights of marginalised groups everyday. In this module, you will do a case study of a social action that helped gain rights for under-represented people. You will also make a series of protest posters that symbolises the message of this movement. 

Power to the People!

This module has no externals. It is only internal standards. That means your attendance at school will be required for at least 6 weeks. If you select this module you are agreeing not to go on exam study leave and to attend these classes.   

There is an opportunity to finish English 2.4 if it was not completed in trimester 2, although that is not the focus of this module.
