The Three Levels of Reflection

• What have I learned about myself through this experience?
Through this experience I learned more about myself by learning how to care more for the world
By caring more about the things in the world and most of all the importance of recycling.

• What would you change about this situation if you were in charge?
If I was in charge if this situation if you throw things on the ground that can be recycles you WILL be fined a
a fee of $500 or put in jail for 1 year.


• What are three big issues that create problems that our service is trying to address?
I can't exactly give three big reasons but i can give you two issue that create problems that our service is trying
to address and they are throwing trash on the ground that can be recycled and we are trying to get people to realize that
recycling can change the world.

service learning

last Thursday in service learning we went to the imc and researched more about recycling
paper, glass, aluminum etc . We were able to find a lot of information on these topics
and there really wasn't any challenges. During service learning so far we have got a lot
accomplished and we actually went outside to collect trash off the street that we can
recycle and make new things out of.

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.
