Project Ideas from IBNA Annual Conference in San Fran

Thank you so much for attending my session, Service Learning 101. You all collaborated to create some awesome service learning project ideas. Hopefully you'll be inspired to use the PARC method to create a complete unit or lesson plan. If you do, please e-mail me so I can share your plan, reflection and/or photos and we can collectively celebrate your hard work. Brainstorm Ideas for Future Service Learning Projects 1) Dirty beaches: beach clean-up, video, reporting 2) Water usage (water unit): commitment (use Taking it Global?), use money saved on bill to buy a well 3) Adopt a child (Language Arts connection): donate $1 to Foster Parents' Plan, write and correspond using Language A or B 4) Shelter Project (Home Ec. Sewing, Technology, Industrial Arts: design and donate clothing to shelters, can also create a donation campaign collecting hotel/toiletries at airports 5) Adopt a school: student voice on what is needed, diaries, tsunami relief, natural disasters 6) Interfaith Support/Understanding Group (world history/religion theme) I hope you're inspired to take service to a new level. The big question is: How can we inspire our teachers and students with The Power to Think and the Will to Act? Maybe some of these projects can be posted on the Sharing Our Humanity site. Take lots of pics ok. I can post them here. Send me your Good Stuff!
