Service Project Discuss each student s list of solutions. Allow the class time to contribute other ideas. As a class, select an actual service project based on the solutions the students created. Draw up an Action Plan, and seek administrative support. Divide the class into groups, and assign each group a project.
Groups meet to begin project implementation.
Start this process during class time. Then, groups can meet separately to make arrangements, share status with the class over a period of days or weeks to be determined by the teacher. Once the service project has been implemented, initiate a class discussion about successes, failures and lessons learned. Students write a journal entry detailing their personal growth from start to finish. Additional Ideas Assign a research paper about a community concern on the local, regional, state, national or global level.
