Reflection On Service Learning

Last Friday we talk about some of the researches people did on Plastics, glass, Aluminum etc.
Then we actually went outside to collect stuff on the street that can be recycled such as
cans, paper, paper plates, napkin etc. and then we went back to the school. Next week I think we are
going to talk about more research we found and about the stuff we found on the street.

Conduct an attitude survey of 9th graders, including the following yes/no questions:
1. Do you recycle at home?
2. Do you ever throw trash on the ground?
3. Is your neighborhood clean? Neighborhood: _________________
4. Is recycling too much trouble?
5. Do you believe recycling is valuable to the environment?

Plans for service learning on 4/17/08

I would like to talk about how we could achieve these ideas and activities we can do by recycling such as making art out of recycled cans or glass bottles.

Reflection on service learning

During service learning last week we talked about.....
1. Classroom recycling bins
2. Collection of recycling at School District of Philadelphia
3. Implementing conservation measures
4. School wide clean up program
5. Districtwide recycling program
6. Education about recycling and conservation
7. Specialized containers for waste by type


I think these are pretty good ideas to start off with and that we should continue to come up with ideas to make the world a better place due to recycling.

Ideas For Service Learning

I think we should talk about how we can better our society by recycling trash such as cans, paper, plastic bottle, etc that be on the streets and I have also notice that we are wasting a lot of paper in our school for example Mr Todd was talking about the old brochures we have and we are basically wasting them because nobody would want them they would want the new ones that were made. So wasting paper would be one of the main things I would like to talk about because wasting paper means wasting trees and that mean less oxygen for us.
