We have worked diligently to bring together the best of what we have to show of our project plans and outcomes and hope that our site will help inspire other teens to get out and make a difference in the lives of others.
All of our work is archived on our Masterminds' Service Learning Website. Please click on the link to view the archive of group projects since 2014. We are thankful and humbled by the opportunity to serve our community and world.
What is Service Learning?
What is Service Learning?
Service learning is a classroom learning strategy that combines meaningful community service activities with classroom instruction. The three overall goals of a service learning project are that the student:
1) engages in critical thinking and meaningful reflection
2) gains a heightened sense of civic and personal responsibility and
3) gives back to the community.
In the Masterminds' 8th grade English Language Arts class, service learning is tied into our unit on Anne Frank and the Holocaust. Throughout the unit, students learn about the horrific and devastating genocide of the Jewish people during World War II through reading the stories of Anne Frank and Gerda Weissmann Klein.
Students watch One Survivor Remembers, produced by Teaching Tolerance and read The Diary of Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, a stage adaptation based on Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl.
Students are asked to reflect on the meaning of being a bystander and the purpose of activism in their lives and in the lives of those need assistance or who may not able to stand up for themselves.
