Overview
About This Assessment
Having agency—the power and ability to make decisions and take action on your own behalf—doesn’t always have to include participation in movements or lead to sweeping social change. As students have learned from the resources and learning experiences in this text set, speaking up or standing up for oneself can be a powerful demonstration of agency.
This assessment invites students to draw connections between the concepts they have explored in this text set and the world around them. They will first identify an example of individual or collective agency in the world today that inspires them and then reflect on its significance. If time allows, this assessment could be the initial step of a larger research project.
