The hyphen in the term service-learning is designed to connote this comparable emphasis. Objectives for the service- learning experience may be agreed upon during the planning phase. Sometimes a fifth phase, celebration, is included. Celebration is a concluding activity that may bring together students and community members in a social gathering. The reflection phase is what usually differentiates service-learning from other forms of experiential learning.
Reflection organizes the experience so meaning can be derived and learning maximized and focused.
