i want you to focus on poverty in the tampa community. Also when explaining how this could help my future carrer touch on how my plan is to be the future mayor of tampa and how i plan on changing affordable housing so that people feel good about where they are living. Also i need this by 10:00 PM !! IT IS NOW 5:39. this assignemnt is pretty straight foward.

think about what “service-learning” and “activism” are and how they differ from volunteering (including some examples to help get your brain fired up); • Learn how service-learning fits with this Women’s & Gender Studies course and how it fits into larger issues of social justice and global citizenship; • Discover how your GAP can contribute to your education here at USF and to your future career • Brainstorm some issues that concern you and ways you might address them; • Develop a specific, doable GAP plan. Your assignment during the Investigation and Planning Stage is write a one- to two-page “Addressing Injustice Report” in which you (1) identify an injustice or inequity in our community; (2) provide a brief synopsis of the injustice – e.g., statistics, summary of theories for why the injustice exists, etc); (3) discuss briefly how the injustice is related to our course materials in some way; and (4) lay out the details of the “grassroots activism” you believe will address that injustice.include your injustice, statistical information about the scope of the injustice (include 2 references to external sources, ideally peer-reviewed ones, and 2 references to the Thresholds Concepts book and/or The Borders of Race book). Then, describe your action plan. What were you going to do/able to do/actually did? (If you did not complete your hours before break, here's where the "Alternative Assignment" notes pertain to you.)** Summarize your findings and experience engaging in (or researching about) feminist praxis/ taking action to eradicate a social injustice. Finally, finish up your paper with a "Pre-flection" where you compress your experience into a short paragraph summarizing your experience. This summary is useful for thinking about how you will discuss or share this experience with a future employer; it's a way of demonstrating that you are (or had planned to get) actively involved in fighting injustice. Explain why the GAP project was a useful learning experience. To recap, here is a summary of the various parts of your paper: Your Paper Your Name Course Professor Date TITLE: The Injustice You Selected to Focus On ("Insert Your Paper Title-Be Creative Here") INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: Here's where you can loop back to your rough draft, polishing it up with any new information or data you gathered in more recent weeks. What is the injustice, what is the scope of the issue. and what do experts say about the injustice? CITE THEM. How does this injustice relate to the course? Please include your 2 references to the course material HERE. This section (above) should be AT LEAST 1 full page (double-spaced is fine), but 2 pages is preferred. ACTION PLAN Here's where you will describe the action you intended to take, detail the action that you actually took, and/or include the alternative assignment information to close the gap. What type of grassroots activism did you intend to take, and/or what information did you locate related to organizations engaged in the kinds of grassroots activism that you had hoped to engage in for this project? Please be sure to address these questions: a) What did I do to address my chosen social injustice? What barriers or frustrations did I face, and how did I overcome them? What would I do differently next time I seek to address social injustice? To what degree did my grassroots activism make a change? If you were not able to conduct f2f action plan hours, this is where you will put your discussion of the alternative assignment (you are basically doing more research in lieu of actually engaging in direct action): b) What are local organizations doing to address the chosen social injustice? What challenges might they face in general, and especially in this particular moment? What might they do to adjust to these challenges? What sort of IMPACT did you imagine your action or activism would have made in our community? PREFLECTION In this stage we look ahead and consider how to keep our grassroots activism active. Your assignment in this stage is to: • “Pre-flect” on your experience – Take a look at the written work you submitted for the earlier stages. Many times in life we use material from an earlier job or course or stage of life as we move forward. Revise your earlier longer submission down to one short paragraph of no more than 150 words that you might use in a cover letter for a job application or in a personal statement for a scholarship or for admission to graduate school. How might your GAP demonstrate your talents and passion to a potential employer or graduate program? CONCLUSION/CONCLUDING REMARKS END PAPER HERE.
