The newspaper provides information and classroom activities on social justice issues, community life and civic participation. The Housing and Home issue is divided into four sections. The "Images of Home" section offers provocative writings about home from adult learners and others, and invites the readers to do their own writing along the same lines. Jane Erickson, for example, uses her own work and life experience to analyze public housing definitions of homelessness. In the "Housing Costs and Values" section there are activities that show readers how to calculate the percentage of one's income that must go to provide adequate housing. There are also sections on "Struggles for Housing" and "Solutions." The materials within these 28 pages speak through the voices of students, teachers, economists, and poets - and with a bravery that names current housing policy for what it is. There are informative articles and teaching activities for a variety of contexts. The Change Agent is designed for use in intermediate-level ESOL, ABE, GED and adult diploma classes. To subscribe go to www.nelrc.org/changeagent. Two issues per year for $10, including shipping. Bulk orders of 25 or more issues are $1 per issue, plus shipping.
