Community Project - Begin Criterion A & B

Process Journal

Each student will be provided one copy of the Process Journal. Have students fill out the cover page.

Any additional copies of the Process Journal will be the responsibility of the student to re-print. The Process Journal can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.

Teachers: Please assign a due date for process journals to be signed by a guardian. Allow at least 1 week for signatures.

Review Page 3 - Process Time Log

Every time students engage in Community Project work, they need to log their time on this Process Log. Time when 8th grade teachers are reviewing the project does NOT count towards their time logs. ONLY time when students are working independently of the teacher count toward their hours. HOMEROOM teachers do NOT sign the logs, only supervisors or guardians for time spent outside of the classroom need to sign.

Logs will be reviewed 3/10/27 for grading with Criterion C. The following will be used when grading hours log completion.

[7/8]Excellent Service: 15+ Hours dedicated to Community Project

[5/6] Substantial Service: 10-14 Hours dedicated to Community Project

[3/4] Adequate Service: 5-9 Hours dedicated to Community Project

Review Graded Process Journals - Friday, December 11th

Return Graded Process Journals

Students you will be reviewing rubric scores for Criterion A & B in your process journal. These marks have been made by a Churchill teacher after reviewing your current progress and reflection of your project at this time. Students who have not completed these pieces of the project, or are not happy with the progress made so far this year, will still be able to add additional work as needed on pages 4-8 of their process journal.

Use this time to add, correct, or complete any of these pages in your process journal.

The next step will be to begin completing your service.

If you are needing to make a major change to your project proposal, you do NOT need a new Process Journal. You may add additional pages to show the process of changing to a new idea. Students may also print new copies of needed Process Journal pages and add it to your original packet. DO NOT discard your original packet and start new! Part of your work on Community Project is showing your process you took getting to your act of service.
