How to Reflect

The Mirror: What have I learned about myself through this experience?
I learned that I am not a very social person and that I stereotyped alot of people, and how wrong I was.

The Microscope: What more needs to be done?
Alot of more things can be and need to be done about the health of our city. By health I mean the sanitary issues. The homelessness, the poverty, the trash, and the damaged properties.

The Binoculars: How will service learning change your future behaviors/attitudes/and career?
Service learning will further help me to be more open to other people and there needs. Also it will help me to know the needs of my people and my city so whatever career I get into I could help.

Independent Service Learning

For my independent hours I did four things. First thing I did was to feed the homeless on Somerset. I was a little nervous about doing this because I never had to come into contact with a homeless person like before. Than I helped my aunt with her garden. This was hard work because we had to empty all the trash, pull weeds and grass out, remove all the rocks, plant the new flowers, and put soil and mulch down. That day it was really hot and we were on the sunny side of the street. Another activity that I was involved in was to sell water on the corner of Arimingo (very busy intersection). It was raining and my hair got all messed up but I needed to get my hours in. I also babysat my beautiful little cousin for a couple hours, while his mom and my mom went shopping. I must admit he is an angel so it wasn't that hard.

Wed. Service Learning

Last week during the 90 min. service learning, we went over the improvements that needed to be made in the power point that was going to be presented about our project. Mrs. Klosed showed us the pictures from New Orleans. She put music to the pictures. As the pictures get bad the music gets really sad. It took us through emotionally and visually.

Lesson Plans

Our lesson plan is to first introduce the students to the Author, through Power Point presentation. After the presentation there will be a questioning time. After that the students will be ask to write a mystery poem similar to Edgar Allen Poe's poem's.

Fraternity of Brotherhood

What makes a brother hood? Lennie and Gorge is the first display of brotherhood we are introduced to in the book Of Mice and Men. The bond between Lennie and Gorge is the strongest on the ranch they have been through everything together. Gorge always takes up for Lennie and I’m sure if Gorge was in trouble Lennie would step in for Gorge. Just like he did for Gorge when Crooks was trying to make him think the worst of Gorge. Candy, Lennie, and Gorge made a bond by talking about their living arrangements together. Slim and some of the other guys joined together to convince Candy to shot his dog. All the men came together to bribe Curley into not getting Lennie in trouble for crushing his hand. The same brotherhood that came against Curley for Lennie, joined with Curley to harm Lennie. Some of the bonds in this story started over night and some began years ago, some did not last, and most did not give up.

Service Learning Plans

In service learning I plan on finishing all the support letters and send them out to companies and other places so that we could recieve support with our task. I also plan to continue research on what we are teying to do so I could be well educated on the matter. I want to do this so that if someone ask me I know exactly what I want to say.
