(service learning) Project
Objective:
SWBAT identify a project
that solves or addresses a
problem in their
community and increase
awareness.
What are some
ACTION
VERBS that
address
Community
Service?
Action verbs:
• (project) impact (community)
• (project) solves/addresses
(problems within community)
• (project) increases
(awareness)
ASK yourself:
• What problem are you solving?
• How are you increasing
awareness?
When is
the
Project
due?
• ON or BEFORE
May 16, 2014 !
When is
Community
Service
project
planning
form due?
(rough draft)
• You will complete and submit the
Community Service Project
Planning form as a draft indicating
progress towards your community
service project.
• Draft is due by March 4th.
• Submit no later than end of day.
• Failure to submit your neatly
completed form will further forfeit
your ability to earn full credit on your
Community Service Project.
• Do not let that happen. You have
sufficient time to think about the
project and begin. Many of your
classmates are well on their way to
completing their projects already.
• If you need to do working lunches
with your peers, begin to do so.
• Ask your teacher about the concept of
a “working lunch”.
• Remember, choose a project that you
can complete given your time, effort
and energy. Be thoughtful in your
selection.
• Your project will be due May 16th. If
your project is not completed and
submitted by that day you are at risk
of failing the class.

What are the
requirements
the project?
• Organize a plan to execute a community service
project with 5 or more steps
• Keep a journal (DATA!)  I need proof!
• Your journal should have entries of your
experience every time you are doing this. You can
also take pictures as EVIDENCE to log your
experience.
• Presentation (if in a group, 1 per group)
• Formal paper in MLA format (everyone must turn
in their own reflection paper)
• Provide EVIDENCE that you effectively impacted,
increased awareness and changed your community.
• May be worked on alone, partner, or a group (no
more than 4)
• Can be with anyone in your block or someone that
is taking health from another block.
What are the
requirements
the project?
• There is no threshold for the number of
community service hours you should have.
• You can go for quantity or quality.
• Requirements for the project to be credited
towards your graduation is minimum of 40 hours.
• Having lots of hours will certainly look good, but
having leadership role in your community service
will look great even if you don't have that many
hours. (Something to look at when applying to
colleges and scholarships)
