- Read the week’s Learning Resources and consider the differences between community service and service learning.
- View the videos assigned as part of this week’s Learning Resources, which focus on service learning in action.
- Revisit or review the articles provided in Week 3 Learning Resources and the articles you have analyzed to begin your annotated bibliography.
To submit
- Construct a visual presentation (e.g., chart, graph, diagram, Prezi presentation) showing the connections between the learner-centered curriculum model and the model of service learning. Keep in mind the following:
- Focus your visual representation on how service learning overlaps with and extends a learner-centered curriculum.
- Indicate in your graphic any ways in which they do not fit well together.
- Your visual should stand-alone, be self-explanatory, and easily understood.
- Your visual should be in .pdf, .jpg, Word, or Prezi file format.
- In addition to constructing your visual presentation, write a 1-page paper in which you answer the following questions:
- How does service learning fit into, extend, or amplify the learner-centered curriculum?
- After reviewing both models, what are the similarities and differences?
- Include one or more examples from the videos assigned as part of this week’s Learning Resources
