Service as Action

Today's session. Let's:
- Look at what we have so far
- Build on it to create action opportunities for each grade level

Service as action helps students to experience what they learn by applying their knowledge to a problem in the community, finding solutions, and working with people through a process...

IPARD Model

• Investigation
• Preparation and Planning
• Action
• Reflection
• Demonstration

Some examples

Let's start with Maths

Grade 7 Geometry:
Designing games and activities that teach Math for Math Day at an Orphanage

Grade Level    Subject & Teacher    Service as Action Idea    IPARD Grade 6            Grade 7    Geography-- The earth and natural resources within the Arab World    Cleaning up Raouche and raising awareness on how to keep it clean    Grade 8    Math-- Algebraic expressions    Students can think of a creative way to transform an algebraic expression in x into something tangible that serves the learning process of blind students learning math. The tiles created can be further utilized to solve linear equations.x^2---squarex---rectangle1---small unit squareStudents need to investigate different strategies used to teach algebra to the blind students and check the feasibility of their method. They need to search for local organizations specialized in that domain.    Grade 9    Sciences    RecyclingStart a recycling project in the community possibly work with Sukleen on a recycling project.      Investigation: Research statistics and ways to recycle , design and allocate resources for final products.Preparation: Students in their service time will prepare needed requirements such as identifying locations for recycling, selecting sources, deciding on an outcome, manage and design sketches, produce prototype ideas. Action: collecting, processing and production of products. Generating awareness campaigns around the school.Students will share their findings in a prezi or any digital form. Reflection: Students use their journals to reflect on their service experience. Demonstration: A gallery walk exhibition in school/ environmental day.Grade 10    ICT—Denise    Animations for ActionResearch a local need for example whatsapping while driving and getting into an accident and create an animation to raise awareness about the subject.
