About This Lesson
People Power is a multi-media resource that fosters student exploration of how engaged citizens change the world. All six sections are common-core connected and also available on www.civicvoicesforpeace.com. In Section 3, students explore how people bring about change through nonviolent means. Students will be asked to group 11 strategies into broader categories that involve the engagement of formal systems, direct action, or community dialogue. They will then assess how successful social movements combine strategies to maximize their impact.
