After you have completed this for one of the morning presentations start analyzing your own activity/course from the viewpoint of th 8 Block Model. If you are just getting started at with service learning there may be several holes, but don't get discouraged if there are. There is plenty of time between now and Tuesday to think about how you are going to address any gaps and we all are here to help you.

In any case, upload both 8 Blocks to this discussion thread along with any questions, concerns, thoughts or inspirations that occur to you. Good questions from you lead to useful discussions.

In my case they have met the students at the high school and are motivated because of their enthusiasm, but they haven't had interaction with Sierra Club yet and it seems like they haven't taken ownership of that part yet.

The importance of this exercise is that you spend time trying out a new way of looking at course design, do some analysis with this new model, and begin to use the vocabulary. We are also looking for common problem areas so that we can set up small group discussions based on what you report back. We won't be putting together those groups tonight, but we want to start thinking about them tomorrow.

[By the way - if you need high-quality large paper, you might ask your local map library what they do with their replaced maps - the backs are great and the fronts are fun!]
What was clear to me is that if you just stream-of-conciousness an exercise (as I have been known to do) the process may get bumpy and the outcome may not be what you wanted. The 8-block model serves as a checklist - ignore it at your peril!
It also seems that Jen was "forced" into this (by time, not necessarily by inclination) and has had to scramble to meet the SL designation - I would hate to be in that position.]]> William Locke 1265321160 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/workshop10/discussions/using_8_block_m.html#post4760 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/workshop10/discussions/using_8_block_m.html#post4765
I had difficulty with the Project Design block. Since Pam presented multiple SL projects, I believe that to properly execute this exercise we would need to get more details. The fact that Pam was successful in perfoming these SL projects makes me believe that she probably has all of the elements, but they may not have been included in the presentation.

Your 8 block template got me thinking and trying to connect the blocks with each other. This is what I came up with as in interim draft product. I figured out what the columns were (for me anyway); I wonder if the rows can be time as in pre-project and during/post project?

Hope I did the attribution correctly.
