Objective
The learner will demonstrate through written notes the steps involved in a student driven community service project.
Activity 1
As a warm up exercise, write in your Learning Journal the steps that you think you would follow to implement a student driven community service project in your own classroom. Title this entry Process - My Thoughts.
Activity 2
Now, watch you will watch a video about the Earth Force process. This process is one known model for a student driven community service project.
As you watch the video, you will be taking specific notes in your Learning Journal. Title this entry Earth Force Video Notes. It may help you to watch each step twice, the first time just to listen to the information, and the second time to take notes.
- Write down each of the numbered steps in the process.
- Underneath each step, list some examples of what you or your students might do as part of that step.
Assignment
Reflect on the steps of the EarthForce process. Did any of the steps surprise you? Did you like the order of the steps, or think it needed to change? Are there other steps you think should be included that were not? Title this entry Earth Force Process Reflection.
