1. Warming up with teenagers who are answering the call and offering their gifts to the world:
Malala Yousafzai
Easton LaChappelle
Mary Grace Henry
Yash Gupta
Anoyara Khatun
Katie Stagliano
Perform a quick search of your person to figure out who they are, what they're up to, and where their inspiration comes from. In other words, how did they answer the call to action?
Get together with two neighbors who researched different teenagers.
- Share what you've found about each person. How did they each answer the call to action?
- What do they all have in common?
- What connections can you find between this activity and Finding Joe? Between this activity and your final speech?
