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.

Service Learning Reflection

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.

NHD Reflection

I felt that the NHD process was very stressful. I thought that it really didn't hit me until the last couple of days. From this experience I learned that it was kind of good that worked by myself because I didn't have to depend on anyone. As the days began to pass and everyone began to procrastinate. I observed that many people were angry because people were criticizing there work. Doing NHD made me kind of angry at times because one teacher was telling you to do one thing and another teacher was telling you to do the opposite. I also learned that you shouldn't always listen to teachers. I think that I could of had more time to work on my exhibit bored. One important thing that I learned is that everything isn't as always easy as it may look.
