Report Components
1. Describe the meetings, rallies, or activities that you attended: Where were they and when did they happen? How were they structured? Who spoke (board members, leaders, members of the public)? What issues were discussed and how were they discussed? If you were involved in advocacy or organizing, explain how your activity represented or advocated around an issue and how it framed the issue.
2. The Issues: Explain how the issues discussed are related to topics and themes we have explored throughout the semester. Were they social issues? Planning issues? (Topics see pictures below).
3. Reaction: Evaluate your experience "doing city politics."What did you think of the atmosphere and methods, the framing of issues or structure of activity? What thoughts did it prompt about city politics?
