Today you’ll be doing an activity called “Vacant Lot.” Here, students find an empty lot or building in their own town and come together in groups to imagine a renewed future for the space. It’s engaging, fun, and it drives meaning in your class.
Solve real-world problems.
Vacant Lot gives students the opportunity to use their specific skills and talents to solve a problem that exists in the real world. Watch as students find fulfillment in using their strengths to solve a real issue in their own community.
