Draw a three column chart on chart paper. Label the three columns as follows:

WHAT I KNOW ABOUT ACTIVISM WHAT I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ACTIVISM WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT ACTIVISM
     
     
     

In the first column, ask students to brainstorm and list the information they already know about activism.

In the second column, ask students to list questions they would like to have answered or information they would like to know about activism.

Return to the third column after reading the book. Ask students to list the information about activism they have learned as a result of reading the book.

Under the chart, write a working definition of activism. Add to and change this definition as you read the book.
