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.

Service Learning

I am working side by side with Shaquetta, Lashay, and Georgia and we are working at a nursing home called Liberty Court it is located at 15th and Lombard. The address exactly is 1526 lombard st, Philadelphia PA, and it's phone number is 215 546 5960. We are planning to work during spring break on Monday's, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

NHD

From my prospective I think the NHD projects are very stressing. I believe that they are putting to much work upon us at a young age. Teachers want to much due at a certain time such as those Annotated Bibliography and how are they going to tell us to do a process paper at the last minute and expect it to be due three days before the NHD competitions. All the teachers do is sit around on there butts and tell us what to do and I don't think it's fair for us to be doing all the work and the teachers don't do anything. I also believe that if We are doing the NHD projects we shouldn't get any work from the other classes because then we have to get their work done and also stuff from the NHD project. To sum this up NHD is hard work and it puts to much work on your mind.
