ELECTIVES

Each student enrolled in the Service Learning Pathway is required to take at least one service-related elective course. Currently, Community Based Creative Design 1, Community Based Creative Design 2, Introduction to Service Learning, and AP Spanish (which requires a WeService component) all fulfill the requirement.

• Community Based Creative Design 1: Community Based Creative Design is a project-based course with direct ties to service learning. Students will complete a series of creative projects, including jewelry making, card and coloring book creation, and functional school/community art to benefit and support local non-profit organizations. A modified version of the course will be offered to our Academic Essentials students in conjunction with their Structured Learning Experience.

• Community Based Creative Design 2: Community-Based Creative Design 2 will further develop techniques and methods introduced in Community-Based Creative Design 1. It will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of community-based crafts that willsupport local non-profit organizations and charities. Students will expand on prior knowledge to create more complex projects with a focus on the exploration of media. Projects will be more advanced with an emphasis on higher-level creative problem-solving skills. Prerequisite: Community-Based Creative Design 1
