Note: The portfolio dealing with research is a group project if there are more than 3 in a group. You might have 2-3 students working on research, 2-3 students working on target analysis, and the other 2-3 working on power mapping. SML would give them a group grade (within the 2-3), and he would adjust their participation grades at the end if I found out that one was doing all the work!

Also, the Binder assignment AND the Class Presentation are both GROUP Projects. Thus there was a nice balance between individual work and group work.

Students did research by attending various campus and community events. Below is a campus-wide event attended by the students, which dealt with Filipino Farmworkers.

At the event, the students had the chance to meet with the author, Gayle Romasanta, and connect with some community allies, including a member from the Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS). Below is a photo of the Students for Filipino Farmworkers, Gayle, and the FANHS community ally.

Power Map

Students for Filipino Farmworkers researched and produced these visual power maps for their campaign:
