1. GRADE 10 COMMUNITY SERVICE REFLECTION KM ADVISORY

2. LEARNING TARGET OBJECTIVE: USE REFLECTION TO THOUGHTFULLY PROCESS YOUR COMMUNITY SERVICE EXPERIENCE SUCCESS CRITERIA: CREATE A POWERPOINT BASED ON YOUR COMMUNITY SERVICE REFLECTION

3. THE EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING CYCLE Students who reflect on their experiences get more from those experiences After an activity, effective learners think about what they did After reflecting, effective learners generalize and apply what they have learned

4. GUIDING QUESTIONS These questions guide how we learn: What? Report the facts and events of an experience So what? Analyze your experience Now what? Consider how these experiences connect to your future

5. WHAT? What? What is the name of the organization or event you worked with? What problem or issue was being addressed? What did you do? How did you do it?

6. SO WHAT? So what? Did you learn or use a new skill as part of this experience? How was your experience different from what you expected? What did you learn about this organization or the community they serve? Did this experience change the way you look at people/the community?

7. SO WHAT? Now what? How could these skills be useful in your education or career? What other work is being done to help address this issue/problem? How can you apply what you learned from this experience? What information can you share with your peers or the community? If you could do this again, how would you do it differently?

8. COMMUNITY SERVICE PRESENTATION IDEAS Take photos to include in a slide show Shoot video that you can edit and share with your advisory Write a letter-to-the-editor of a local paper you can read to your advisory regarding what you learned from this experience Keep a journal during your experience so that you can easily recall detailed memories of your experience

9. SAMPLE VIDEO This video combines words and music It only focuses a little bit on what the student learned and how that can be applied to the student’s future

10. SAMPLE VIDEO in this example, the speaker explains what she learned and how it applies to her future She doesn’t explain what she did in detail
