# Week 16 — Community Needs & Assets
**Unit 4: Lead in Community • Domain IV**
**Essential Question:** What does our community actually need — and what assets do we already have?
**Key Performance:** Asset Map + 2 stakeholder interviews per team.

---

## Day 1 — Needs vs Assets
**Objective:** SWBAT articulate the difference between a deficit lens and an asset lens.
**Do-Now (5):** "Describe Roseville to someone who has never been here." • **Circle (5):** Single word. • **Mini-Lesson (10):** Asset-Based Community Development basics — every community has gifts; start there. • **Practice (25):** Pair brainstorm — 10 deficits vs 10 assets of our school/community. Notice the energy difference. • **Close (5):** "An asset I overlooked is ___."

## Day 2 — Asset Mapping
**Objective:** SWBAT map assets across 6 categories (people, places, institutions, associations, economic, cultural).
**Do-Now (5):** "Who in your life is a quiet asset?" • **Circle (5):** Roses/thorns. • **Mini-Lesson (10):** 6 categories with examples specific to Roseville. • **Practice (25):** Teams map their capstone's community on chart paper. • **Close (5):** Identify 3 assets to leverage.

## Day 3 — Stakeholder Interview Design
**Objective:** SWBAT design a 5-question, 15-minute stakeholder interview.
**Do-Now (5):** "What's a question you wish someone would ask you?" • **Circle (5):** Check-in. • **Mini-Lesson (10):** Interview craft — open questions, follow-ups, silence, gratitude. • **Practice (25):** Teams draft interview guides; pair-test on each other; revise. • **Close (5):** Schedule 2 interviews to complete by Day 1 next week.

## Day 4 — Interview Mock + Logistics
**Objective:** SWBAT conduct a mock interview and refine.
**Do-Now (5):** Confirm interview slots. • **Circle (5):** Check-in. • **Mini-Lesson (10):** Logistics — confirm, show up early, take notes, thank-you within 24 hours. • **Practice (30):** Cross-team mock interviews (one team plays stakeholder); feedback. • **Close (5):** Final logistics confirmed.

## Day 5 — Friday Circle: Whose Voice Are We Missing?
**Do-Now (5):** "Whose voice are we *not* hearing in our capstone?" • **Circle (25):** Friday Circle + round on the question. • **Practice (15):** Update asset map + identify one missing voice to add by Week 17. • **Close (5):** Leader of the Week.

## Assessment
4-pt rubric: **Asset map richness • Interview question quality • 2 interviews scheduled with confirmed times • Missing-voice analysis.**
## Differentiation
ML/EL — interview in home language welcome and encouraged when stakeholder shares it. Stretch — students may interview an elected official or department head.
## Sub Plan
Day 2 asset mapping is sub-stable.
## Stretch & Swap
