Chapter Title: One Love Activity Name: Group Action What materials do I need? (Will depend on the community service project chosen) How long will this take? (Continuous) Give me the gist: Students will form smaller groups within their homerooms to complete community service projects. Helpful Hints: Decide whether you want students to choose their own groups, or if you want to assign groups. Students will need to work together over the course of the school year. Step by step: 1. Tell students that one of our homeroom this year is to do some community service projects together as a homeroom. Allow students to come up with a goal of how many projects they will do this year (Between 1 and 3 seems reasonable). 2. Allow students to work together to brainstorm ideas for different community service projects. As well as formulate a list of contacts they can use to solidify these projects. (For example: My mom works at a nursing home and may be able to help us set up some hours there…). Some ideas may include: Visiting a nursing home (making holiday cards, doing arts and crafts, etc.) Visiting a day care center (doing arts and crafts, playing games) Cleaning a park or playground Setting up a tutoring program between the homeroom and an elementary school class 3. Allow students to form smaller committees in order to further research any potential community service project. 4. Tell groups to keep the homeroom updated with any progress made on each community service project. What did we learn? / Discussion 1. How difficult was it to come up with a community service activity? 2. What contacts were needed in to complete this project? 3. How does it feel to be finished? Was it it? Is this project something you would do again?
