Create a movement exercise using the political process model theory  1. Choose one change you would make at WLAC (or if you are completely unfamiliar with WLAC, you may choose a school that you are more familiar with, but be consistent throughout the exercise) 2.Structure of Political Opportunities: Define the political structure at WLAC (do students have a voice at WLAC and how are students' interests related to the political structure, are decisions made without regard to student's voices, whose interests besides students are represented?) 3.Organizational Strength: Which groups and organizations would you bring together for your movement (which groups/organizations on campus or off campus would support and share in your interests)? What resources are available to you through these groups and organizations? Which communication outlet would you use to promote the changes your desire? 4. Movement Consciousness: Articulate a mission statement that you feel would unite movement participants (What is the purpose of this movement?) 5.Movement Obstacles and Advancing Collective Interests: What would your bargaining position be with the power structure (see question 2 in regards to students' interests being represented in the power structure)? Will you work within the institutionalized power structure or outside it? Would you say that the changes you seek are to reform the university or to revolutionize the college? If the powers that be repressed or ignored your movement, how will you respond? 6.Overview: Is WLAC a place where changes can be made? Why or why not?
