List one or more grade-level standards you would use when integrating the project into the classroom (include the standard verbiage and the standard code).

1. Trash pick-up day

A trash pick-up day would include students traveling to and from a specific location in town where trash is on the streets. While being supervised by the teacher or other supervisor, the students will pick up trash for an hour using pick up sticks, gloves and trash bags.

3. Peer Counseli ng

Students will be asked to attend a training so that they can spend a week counseling their peers. I think that a lot of students struggle with mental health in this day and age so I think that this would be a great way to implement the speaking and listening standard into a service project by being an ear for their friends who are struggling and sharing kind words with one another.

SLS 9-10 11-12.1 “Speaking and Listening Standard: Initiate and participate effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacherled) with diverse partners, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively” (CTE, 2013)

A class of 24 students will be split up into 6 groups of four and each group will be responsible for estabilishing a plan to gather as many canned good as possible to donate to the local food drive. The students will need to gather a minimum of four cans per student, however the group with the greatest number of cans will win. This will require encouragement among team members in the group to reach out and gather as many as possible.
