Worksheet1:
Defining the Social Problem
Date:
1. In one or two sentences, state the nature of the social problem that your group plans to study.
|
Our students are very weak in their English-Language Arts. Many of our students are coming in not adequately prepared for our academic program. |
2. List
at least three undesirable social conditions that result from this problem:
|
a) These students will never be able to adequately perform in the upper grades if this problem isn’t addressed now on all levels. |
|
b) These students will not have the opportunity to get into a good college program |
|
c) As adults the students will not be able to get a decent paying jobs. |
3. Write a short phrase that summarizes the social problem and its location (examples: students reading below grade level at P.S. 299; vandalism at Jones Middle School; cheating in Mr. Green’s math class)
|
Our basic concern is that the students must excel in this area to have a chance of bettering themselves and their future. |
