ABSTRACT
Reader's theatre has been a successful call to action, completed in the format of a radio show. Similar to reader's theater, performances, such as poetry slams, and plays can involve local community members in important ways. Digital storytelling enables creators to combine chosen images and narration to form a story. Protests are another way to promote calls to action for COH projects. Showing students how to stand up and speak out in their communities to protest inequity and to promote justice is a noble act. It takes years for some people to be able to process that inequities exist, and make sense of how and why they must address these inequities. COH projects encourage educators to expose students to the inequitable realities that their friends, neighbors, and local community members, perhaps unknowingly to them, face daily, with an explicit intention in mind: to transform these realities to become more equitable.
