Abstract
This classroom activity uses the “teach a man to fish” proverb as a starting point to analyze assumptions about service and introduce students to a broader variety of activities for civic participation. Using the Pathways Model of Public Service and Civic Engagement as a foundation, students critically examine different approaches to civic participation and examine each pathway in terms of its benefits, limitations, and ethical considerations.
