Writing Challenge #4

Writing Challenge #4 

This week is going to be a little different.  I am currently taking a class on incorporating service learning into the curriculum.  As part of the class, we are looking at service learning projects as meaningful, engaging, learning experiences for both the students helping and the people on the receiving end of the project.  What I’d like to know is what has been the most meaningful community service project you’ve experienced?  Why did you feel it was worthwhile?  How did it affect you?  How did you get involved with this project?   

I don’t want this to sound like a community service report.  I want to hear your personal experience, focused on why it was meaningful.  Get readers to see it from your perspective, and try to convince readers to become involved in the same project.  It doesn’t have to be a full essay, but it should be detailed enough to share your experience.  

As a bonus, this will be one of our first assignments when the school year starts.  If you write it now, you won’t have to write it in the fall.  As always, post it on Dropbox, or email it to me at mrs.schuette at gmail.com.  Thanks for participating!
