Ask students to write a report on their experience with service. The report could take the form of a letter to another class, to the editor of a newspaper, to the Bennion Center at the University of Utah, or a local service organization. Ask the students to consider the entire process. Students should include their feelings in the report and give suggestions to others wanting to provide community service. Students may wish to start an in-class or after school Service Club.
Students can organize service projects and involve other students in service as well.
Conclude the experience with a celebration which includes refreshments, sharing pictures of the experience, journal writing and reflection on the project. Discuss how students felt before, during, and after the project. Ask students to compare and contrast the experiences of Dee and Bennion with their own. Help students select a project that will be appropriate for their grade level, available time and YOUR interest. Projects may be as simple as organizing a fruit basket for an elderly neighbor and delivering it as a class.
