Service Learning Reflection For April 25, 2008

On friday April 25, 2008 in our service learning session, we went out to pick up trash in the area. We did this because we wanted to compare the trash here to the amount of trash in our neighborhoods. When we went trash hunting we did not find a lot of trash, we found about three items on our walk. The things that we found were things like a plastic bag, nothing major really. That to me shows that either people who live up here care more about the environment or either they have more people taking care of this area. Before we left we were just reminded about our personal assignments one last time.

Second Service Learning Reflection

At Thursday's service learning meeting, we talked about things that we could do to get our project out there. We also talked about ways that we could research on our topics. One of the ways we chose to do this is a survey of some sort. We want to find out how many people actually believe that it is important to recycle and how many people actually do it. We were also given assignments of things that we could bring in to help out with the project. We want to find out how much trash is actually thrown on the streets in our neighborhoods and we want to tally it up. One of the other things that we want to find out is, how much of he stuff being thrown onto the streets is actually reusable? These are just some of the many important things that we discussed at Thursday's service learning meeting.

My First Service Learning Reflection

On Friday, April 11, 2008, we had our first service learning meeting for this year. This year for service learning I am apart of the recycling group. My group consists of eleven people including myself. On friday we just spent time trying to brainstorm ideas that we could come up with to get our project out in the open. Some of the things that we came up with, were recycling bins in each classroom, and other things like that, that can help people to become more aware of recycling. Some of the things that we will most likely talk about in the next session, will probably how we can expand on our ideas and how we can get others involved and more aware of this situation.

Web Quest 7




Examine the two photos.

Do you think that movie makers show the reality of African Americans in the Civil War or do you think they try to make it seem like they had it a little easier than it actually was?

How do you think the photos of African Americans in the civil war help us get understanding of what it was like for African Americans to fight with the Union Army?
