Three Questions That Need Answering

How Kid President approaches taking action

• What are you not okay with?

• What do you have?

• What can we do about it?

These three questions are from this video from Kid President:

His video is a call to action for people everywhere to ask themselves these questions and then to take whatever action they can.

How might we use these questions to help our learners focus their thinking and ideas in order to take action?

Here is an example of what this could look like:

1. I am not okay with the slaughter of dolphins or the trapping and raising of dolphins and marine animals in captivity for the purpose of human entertainment.

2. What do I have? Well, if I were Michael Beerens I would say that I have artistic talent and the ability and passion to create videos of my art.

3. What can I do about it? I can make a video. And then I can share my work online:

How could you use these questions to help your students in their quest to take action?
