What Nourishes Us?
Over the course of this year we have had several investigations to explore this essential question. To begin the year, you visited farmers markets to explore where food comes from. We examined what nourishes our food systems and what nourishes us physically. In the middle of the year we examined what nourishes us emotionally. We studied Melinda in Speak, visited MOMA, and created original art pieces to examine what it means to express oneself. Finally, we examined what nourishes our communities by researching and examining social issues that affect our local community.
Directions: Create a blog post that examines WHAT NOURISHES US? Describe how your experience with YPI has helped to nourish the community and ourselves.
1. What nourishes our communities? Describe the social issue you researched and explain how your community based organization nourishes the local community. Use evidence from your visit (stories, interview answers, personal experiences as well as the mission, services, and volunteers from the organization) to support your answer. Discuss (8pts)
2. What nourishes us as individuals? How did your experience working on YPI explain what nourishes us as individuals? Use your personal experiences of giving, volunteering, understanding your social issue, interacting with clients from your organization, or working with your team to support your answer. How did your experience of raising awareness for your social issue and organization make you feel? Discuss (8pts)
