Our Thought Process…Critical Thinking Questions
What are the issues surrounding our community? How can we help solve these issues? What do our students do after school? How can we make their afterschool activities better? (More
physical and more educational?) What do our students want to do afterschool? How can our community be enhanced by an afterschool
program (such as the Boys and Girls Club)?
Plan of Action Our plan to increase student safety is to
create a program that allows students to attend an after school program at the Boys and Girls Club of Champaign.
Allows for… Physical Action Socialization Homework Time
