Engagement Participation

Audience engagement with stories allows them to reflect the stories to the level of realism in their lives. Stories that are engaging and interactive with the audience are considered authentic and true to life. Engaging with stories that we read, or watch leaves its marks on the audience, allowing them to memorise the story and have a sense that the story was real, as they took part in it (Busselle & Bilandzic 2008). Even if a film, TV show or book have limited interactivity, it still allows the user to immerse themselves deeper into the story, rather than just sitting still and only watching a film or reading a book. Interactivity is taking one step further to entertain audience that little bit more.

An effective high school social studies teacher challenges their students in a way that promotes authentic intellectual work and thought provoking discussion in the classroom. However, educators must raise the bar for what they expect out of younger students. Middle school students are capable of high quality work, but they need guidance. As with other subjects, a basic understanding of citizenship and civic engagement need to be developed early on in education. After interviewing a group of middle school social studies students about the importance of civic engagement and the purpose of social studies, I learned students are not given as many chances to grow into productive citizens who have formed their own thoughts and opinions until they

As an aspiring 16-year-old living in the 21st century, it is important to expose young minds to the real-world and edify the importance of involvement in the community. There are numerous reasons why it is important for youth to be involved in the City Government and our community. Furthermore, it is important for young people to become more involved in our community so we will be able to sustain a perfect society for the city.

As of today, the context for community and economic development are improving drastically due to the newly discovered information by authors such as Nicholas Longo and multiple other sociological writers. In the aspect of social development, improvement occurs through civic engagement. Civic engagement, as introduced by Longo, is the coming together of citizens publically in a community to educate and engage with one another (Longo 1). By implementing civic engagement, the lack of education, sense of community and democracy are reclaimed in a community (Longo 9). A common goal of civic engagement is to provide an education and reliable information to every individual in the community, regardless of socioeconomic status. By providing a source

The goal is to perform an empirical study of the society’s engagement in research. Building on the theoretical basis for societal involvement, this research will pinpoint and evaluate European and US examples of participation. This empirical study will also help identify any patterns and important dimensions of societal involvement.

This semester for my civic engagement, I got the opportunity to work with WKAR. It is part of Michigan State University Broadcasting Services, a division of MSU Communication Arts & Sciences. It includes WKAR-TV, WKAR Radio, WKAR.org, Radio Reading Service, WKAR Ready to Learn Service and Interactive Video Services. During my time with them, I got the opportunity to work with Jennifer Preslar. She is the Event/Project Coordinator for their Public Media Department.

For this project, I’ve got the opportunity to help Jennifer with marketing and promoting, and securing guest speakers. Through out this essay I will further expand on my experience with WKAR, and what I have learned thus far.

Many universities claim strong academics or a beautiful campus or an emphasis on diversity, but pale in comparison to the engagement that is emphasized at Northwestern. Northwestern’s engagement, in its own community and globally, sets the school apart. The school spirit at Northwestern is incredible; I have heard several accounts from Northwestern students expressing the engagement of their fellow students both in the classroom and outside of it. An active student body creates a group of alumni involved in their community, equipped with the excellent education Northwestern provides them with. I want to be a part of that involvement and pass that on to others once graduated. The engagement prevalent in my specific desired major, Human Communication

Monitoring and evaluating citizen engagement is important for a number of interrelated reasons. It can help:

The active participation strategy that I used during this lesson was the hands-on strategy. Students can learn more by actively participating with the hands-on strategy while building ramps and testing the cars down the ramp. This strategy approach is supported by the constructivist approach that tells us that students learn through investigation. During the strategy, students can develop critical thinking skills, encourages thinking skills, and sparks engagement. According to Roza Lizard, “Hands-on activities let the students' minds grow and learn based on the experiences and the environment they are exposed to.” (Lizardi R., 2017, para. 2).

The Daily Performance Kit drew relatively more attention and intrigue than the other engagement concepts just within the context of the ad.

Firestone needs to find a way to collaborate with the parents and the community in a meaningful way. So how does the school spark community engagement? One tool that can be used is the framework for the Community engagement process. This framework has four steps which characterize successful community engagement processes. The first step is to identify the purpose of this community engagement, “Successful community engagement initiatives have a clear focus” (Chadwick, 2004, p. 10). This allows for everyone to have a common goal and steer in the direction that best fits for this collaboration to be truly beneficial.
