• In this activity, students write an action plan to address a project goal and strategy statement developed previously.
  
• Students will delegate roles and responsibilities among themselves, identify a budget, and determine strategies for securing the necessary funding and resources for their project.
  

Positives

• The activity page provides several lessons and resources that can help students learn what an action plan is and how to make one. 
  

Additional Prerequisites

• They also give several suggestions for tech tools that can be used in the action planning process.
• If you are going to use one, take the time to learn how to use it yourself so you can support students as they learn it. 

Differentiation

• This step in the problem-solving process is an opportunity to let students focus on a particular area of interest (action planning, budgeting, fundraising, etc.), so consider how you might help students delegate those different responsibilities. 
  
• As with other EarthForce steps, showing the video is a good way to introduce this part of the process to students. 
• If doing the full process, be sure to have students continue to gather their work in a project portfolio for use in the final reflection in the last step.
