1. Synopsis
Briefly summarize the Direct Action you participated in (climate strike, leafletting, etc.) Note the essentials: who, what, when, where, how, why.

2. Reflection: Your Experience [2 pts]
Focusing on your experience of the event, and reflecting on the purpose of Direct Action, how did the event feel to you? No wrong answers here-the goal is to acknowledge your whole person (cura personalis), since Direct Action can be physical/emotional/spiritual, as well as intellectual.
3. Reflection: Observations & Insights on Direct Action
Note two aspects of the Direct Action that stood out or were especially meaningful for you. Include any insights you gained about Direct Action or other strategies to address the climate crisis; note one, particular future action that you could undertake or that you think is needed. Include pictures from the Action (photos, videos, or your art) [2 par + 1-2 photos].
