8 to 8:30 Morning Agenda
• Quotation - ice breaker You will receive
a quote, practice reading it aloud to
yourself. When I say go, walk around
the room, introduce yourself to another
person and read your quotes to each
other. If someone wants to trade, you
must agree.
• Reflection: What are students
learning in this game? How else
could you use this activity?
• Next – what is service learning?

Have You Ever?
• Being careful with your chairs, everyone make one large
circle in the center of the room (When we say go).
• One person is going to be left standing with out a chair
in the middle of the circle.
• The person in the center of the circle has to ask the
group if they have ever done something embarrassing
that they have done. If you have ever done what the
speaker asked then you must quickly stand-up and find
another seat.
• The person left without a seat becomes the speaker and
asks the next have you ever question.
– For crowd control – you can have students “stand up –
sit down”.

Components to SL Projects
• Preparation - Needs identification/assessment—those being
served help define their needs & how to meet them.
• Action - Student leadership in conducting and leading project
activities.
• Reflection is integrated into successful projects from beginning to
end
• Demonstration – students educate others about their project
• Recognition all participants join together to reflect and to plan
future efforts – community partners play an important role
