Reflection: Service Learning
Evidence for each of the five areas should include one to two paragraphs of written reflection plus supporting visual evidence in terms of photos, letters, screenshots, etc. 1. Connections to Paper: How was my service learning connected to my passion paper research?
My service learning was really closely connected with my service. My passion paper was on Climate change and stressed the importance of local action. My service and advocacy reflected in a plethora of different ways. For one, I attended the November 9th Anti-trump protest in Minneapolis. I went there to protest his anti-environmental stances, specifically his opposition to the carbon tax, his neglect of renewable fuels, and his subpar appointments to the head of the epa.

Planning for Action: How did select activities for my service learning? What did I learn about myself during the planning phase? How did I know that my actions would meet an actual community …show more content…
Prior to this project, I had never really vocalized myself very much. During this project I went to my first ever protest, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. I was surrounded by some really amazing people with a lot to say about the environment, I even met several green party members who explained to me perspectives on issues I hadn’t even considered. As for most of the people at the protest, I was able advertise my project to them. My brother and I made signs and tested our voices starting our chanting “Let’s shout, not whine, Let’s block that pipeline!”. The protest was really peaceful, and that made this such a great avenue to bring light to our issue. In terms of skill I gained, I learned how to use google sites really well by actually making it a major component of my advocacy. I aquired really great organizational skills in my project, by religiously following my calendar, and making sure everything went to the plan. Lastly, after having completed this assignment I now see community service in a whole new light. I used to see Edina as a community that didn’t need service, but like every other communities, it does. No matter how much Edina excels as a community, we’re far from perfect, and I am now able to see

My decision to pursue these majors came after thoroughly enjoying my Intro to Media Communications and Intro to Political Science classes, as well as my desire to create local and societal change.

Theta Kappa Honor Society Personal Statement

Personal Narrative: Back To The Black Community
556 Words | 3 PagesI think that this activity gave me the extra push I needed because over Thanksgiving break I spoke up to one of my family members for the first time ever when they said something negative about Black people. I know that I still have an incredible amount of progress to make, and that it is something that I should have been doing all along, but I am still glad that I finally made a step in the right direction. In addition to continuing to speak up against people who are participating in racism in my presence I also need to continue to be aware of current events in the future. Every once in a while we would have a discussion in class about what’s been going on in the media, and almost half of the time I was not aware of what was going on until somebody brought it up in class.

Experiential Learning: Reflection And Analysis
1059 Words | 5 PagesExperiential learning can also be defined as the learning process in which the students manages their own learning, rather than being told what to do and when to do it. This process develops the students as self-directed learners because the relationship between student and instructor is different in such a way that the instructor passes much of the responsibility on to the student.
