I really had trouble trying to figure out what to write
about in this blog, and what type of blog to write.
This article describes the different ways a service learning
project can be organized. It can be
organized to focus on the charity aspect, or focus on the critical inquiry and
action aspect.
I have a lot of
experience with volunteering and community service. In high school we had to community service to
graduate. It was part of our civics
class. You had to do the hours, and then
create and present a PowerPoint presentation.
I remember I did my hours at the Boys’
and Girls’ Club of Cumberland/Lincoln.
I volunteered as a camp counselor during school vacation camp. I had a lot of fun working with the children
at the camp. I also did community service
for my confirmation class. I did
different tasks, like making signs, to help get ready for the bazar that my
church has every year. My brother
coaches for Special Olympics,
and I also help his teams sometimes. One
time they went to a flag football tournament that was at Gillette Stadium. The teams played their games on the Patriots
home field. It was a great experience,
for the athletes and for the families. Being
able to go onto the field was an experience in itself.
I thought this picture what a creative way to look at the
components of service learning.
Point to Share: I think service learning is a good opportunity to learn about one’s community. To be able to make connections and relationships with people that you may not necessarily have come in contact otherwise.

ReplyDeleteNicole, I had the same issue with trying to figure out what to write about, and I figured there is so much information about Service Learning that hyperlinks would be pretty easy. I really liked your reflection version. I also loved all of the pictures (:
