I chose Ruby Bridges for my NHD Project because she's someone that you don't hear people talking about on an everyday basis.



This person is important to history because she played an important part in the Civil Rights Movement.

Service Learning

The Mirror (A clear reflection of the Self)


• What have I learned about myself through this experience?
Throughout this experience I learned that there are many different things that can kill you.
Most of the things that kill you are silent killers.


The Microscope (Makes the small experience large)


• What more needs to be done?
In our group I think that we should make sure that people are aware of silent killers. We made flyer's, surveys, and business cards. I think we should go outside and ask people t take our survey and give them different information about silent killers.

The Binoculars (Makes what appears distant, appear closer)


• How will service learning change your future behaviors/attitudes/and career?
Service learning will change my future behaviors by being aware of the certain things that you many buy and the places that you may want to move because some houses and daycare centers have led paint in them and they can kill you. Also the certain types of toys that you may buy for your children can be a choking hazard.

Service Learning Reflection

At this service learning meeting we discuss all of the things that we have completed. We completed our final survey. During the meeting we started to get three facts on each of our topics. Everyone was split up into groups of two. The facts that we found we emailed them to each other.

For the next meeting we will be going out to get people to fill out the survey and make sure that they are aware of silent killers.

Service Learning Reflection

On Friday we had another service learning meeting. I think that we were successful at accomplishing our first survey. The challenges that we encountered were deciding on how our business card should look and find the number to go on it. For the upcoming meeting we will be discussing different ways to get our information out on silent killers and to see if we can test a day care for radon. The role that i play in the group is to type up our survey with the questions we came up with.

Friday was the first day of service learning in school. The service learning group that I am in is the pollution group. Our group talked about silent killers. Silent killers are many differnt thing that kill people. One silent killer is smoke. We also talked about ways that we can inform others about those silent killers. Some of the ideas that we came up with were making brochures and handing them out to people. We also thought about handing out smoke detectors to people who dont have the. We were going to put different types of ads in newspapers and magazines. We also thought about trying toget the information out over the radio or make a website. For the next meeting which is on thursday, I think that we will start to research the silent killers to get a better understanding of it.
