Service Learning #3

The last time we were at service learning we talked some more about our individual hours. We also discussed some more about the books we wanted to have added to the library. Discussed ways to approach Dr. Davidson with our ideas. See who had ideas. We also talked about if the books were a little risque for the school library. Then we thought about are these books really okay for the library. Then we thought about if we could be able to get our parents to come and say these books are okay. Then we said bring in our permission slips were due next week

Service learning day 2

My group has decided to let the group leader read some of the books and see if they are acceptable to put into our library. Then we were going to do this program that would help us get individual hours outside of school. The best thing about that idea is that it would take place during school. They have fun activities like testing video games. Battle of the sexes is basically boys asking girls questions and girls doing the same. It's like a debate club. Then there is also educational clubs that get you ready for college like the chance to meet college freshman and ask them question

Service Learning (library)

In the fourty five minutes of service learning we talked about ways to get new books like writing a letter to certain companies to see if they would give us some of the books that the teachers and the students thought the kids would like. Then we thought maybe we could ask Dr. Davidson could we do certain things to get the money for the books. Then we wrote a list of books we enjoyed and thought everybody would like. Then we just talked about other ways raise money. Then we went over what happened in our meeting

Character Development Empire of the Sun

At the start of the movie the main character Jim was a very innocent boy had everything a young would want and a mansion to put all in. He even had servants, chefs, and even a driver. Then after the war started he didn't know what to do and then ran into a man who have a big reason for his charter development. Well his friend Bassie who would teach him how to fend for his self and to hustle to get what you want also taught he taught him how to steal. The main character went through a lot of changes but I think that the whole war made him a man at the end. The reason I say this is because he went from a boy who knew nothing about the world to a little with not all the knowledge in the world but a better idea of what the world is about.
