Project Description

Project Description: I want students to have a chance to write to younger students, and then I'll have them write an analysis of the project of working with the young students. We'll talk about how letter-writing is different from their analysis. I also think it's good for students to think about and write about their college community.

Community Partners:Harmon Johnson Elementary 

Project Description: We'll look at how different audiences require different voices in writing

Project Description: The focus of the experience is on maternal-child and/or family health and wellness in a community-based setting. The overall goal is to provide an opportunity for students to integrate previously mastered and concurrently presented educational content regarding growth and development across the lifespan, communication, professional collaboration, cultural assessment, maternal-child assessment tools and techniques, and wellness education while providing service hours to a community-based partner agency. The service learning agency may serve infants, children, parenting mothers and families, or any combination of these groups.

Project Description: work with farming &/or food distribution will deepen learning objective #3: "After attentively engaging with the materials presented in this course, you should be able to...3 (a) compare and contrast, for class members as well as peers outside the classroom, the different viewpoints of the sources studied; and (b) compare and contrast those viewpoints with your own experience of visiting a farm, eating mindfully and participating in meals that highlight the sacred in some way." I plan to assign both a journal and a final project (poster, audio-visual, or web site design) that contributes in some way to the work of the community partner.
