MODULE THREE: LESSON 2 CULMINATING EVENT Presentation of Action Plan Projects "It's the action, not the fruit of the action that's important. You have to do the right thing... You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no results." -- Mohandas K. Gandhi Overview: The culminating event combines celebration with closure, providing students the opportunity to share their projects with peers and others in the school community. The aim is to applaud the students’ efforts towards confronting bias and bigotry in the post 9/11 backlash against Muslim Americans. Objectives: Students will be able to 1. List ideas for incorporating what is learned in Modules 1 and 2. 2. Make final preparations for Action Plans presentations. 3.
