Volunteer Project 2011

Name: _________________________________ Core: _____________ Volunteer Project Due Date: May 17th, 2011 Assigned: Thursday March 17th, 2011 ****This project is worth 300pts! Directions: Choose one of the following two project options below to complete. Option One: Photo Essay Complete eight hours of community service, but instead of keeping a journal you will take pictures of your experience, put that into a PowerPoint and share the results with the class. Each photo taken should include an explanation (caption) of what is going on in the picture. This should include at least twelve photos, and a two sentence description of what is going on in each photo. You will also have to share something about the organization you are working with or volunteering as a part of. Your commentary should include a minimum of eighteen sentences! Lastly you should give a synopsis of your experience. Option Two: Blogging about Community Service Go to Mr. Howard’s blog and post one entry for every two hours of community service that you serve. Your four posts (which means you will serve eight hours of community service) should be one paragraph in length and grammatically correct. You will be graded on the signed off community service hours, and the completion of four entries. The address for Mr. Howard’s blog is http://howardela.blogspot.com/, here you can register and post a comment. Your comment/s will not appear until I have approved the comment/s. So following your post I will receive an approval email, following that email your post will appear. This option will include four posts that should be at least one paragraph long each. Finally you should include a brief video explaining your community service from the location where you are volunteering (please make this digital). Keys to success….. Set up a time table for completing the project in small segments Begin sooner rather than later Take the project seriously and create your best work Remember if you are having trouble finding an organization to volunteer with I have a list and I can share some information with you.
