Independent Service Learning Project

For my service learning project I am going to volunteering to work at Liberty Court. The Liberty Court is a place where the elderly and disable people stay. It is located on 15th and Lombard the address is 1526 Lombard Street Philadelphia, PA 19146. The contact number is 215-546-5960 I am going to be there on the 17th, 19th and the 20th of March. When I go there I am going to help and entertain the elderly and the disable people by doing stuff like reading to them and help serving their food stuff like that. I’m looking forward to doing that I think it is going to be a good experience.

Independent Service Learning Project IDEAS

For my Independent Service Learning Project I was thinking about volunteering to help my neighborhood. I live in a apartment building and I thinking about instead of my matence people doing all the work I wanted to give them a helping hand and pick up all the trash up off the ground around the complex. Or go to the playground down the street and clean up. Or go to my neighborhood libery and read to little kids. Or maybe go to a place and help out the elderly. Oh yeah that’s what I’m going to do I am going to help the elderly.

Reflection on NHD

For my National History Day Project I worked with a group. That’s what I wanted to do, I didn’t want to work by myself. The people who worked with me were my friends of course their names were Kameko, Shaquetta and Kate. When it came down to the point where we had to pick a topic we all wanted to do something on women but we didn’t know what. First we picked Women’s Suffrage but our history teacher Mr. Brasof said it was to board. We got stuck and couldn’t find a less board topic so Mr. Brasof just told us to do our National History Day Project on The Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery. When it came down to the point when we had to do our research on our topic in the beginning I thought it going to be easy but I found out it was kind of hard but I got through it and finished my 25 annotations. Then it was time to decide what were we going to do a documentary, an exhibit, or a performance. We all sat down and had a little discussion, we had pros and cons. A paper was out of the question because if I did that I would have had to do that by myself, a documentary was out of the question too because first of all, none of us didn’t know how to work the computer. So we were left with doing an exhibit and performance. Everyone was doing an exhibit and we wanted to be different so we picked performance. We all took parts in writing the script. Kate wrote the process paper and I did the annotations (I had to put all of my groups annotations together in ABC order). Every thing worked out fine. Everybody liked our performance and guess what we made it to city’s of course. What I think we could of did better was making the script longer and getting along with each other because we stayed arguing with each other. What I would have kept the same would be the people I worked with. I got better at researching. And there is nothing else I have to say about The National History Day Project. Oh yes I do NHD is very stressful and it annoyed me. If it were optional I would not even do.
