First hour Summary: •
•
•
The hospital will not allow large groups of visitors because of swine flu scares and the cost of training everyone. Instead of this, we are going to ask students if there is another group of people that they would like to read to, and give them the option of skyping with Mr. Elate's class. They would be able to read books to the class via skype or video camera based on a theme that they choose. They could possibly team up with 6th hour, and have the theme be about bullying. Another option would be for students to help organize the "moving literacy" display piece. They can create short works of fiction to put on it, organize the visual display, and maybe have a reading of their pieces while showing off the display. I will bring in information about volunteering at hospitals for those who are interested.
Connecting Service Learning and Literacy Objectives: To bridge the Literacy Arts class with our community through service To use a hands-on, literacy centered approach in order to meet a direct need in the community To use literacy as a tool for service To use service as a tool for strengthening literacy Positive aspects of community o Everybody knows everybody block party/look out for each other welcoming o Understand each other o Everybody has fun

2nd hour Summary: • •
Starting next quarter, this class will create new student kits for students that come to Edison. New students already recieve Edison folders, pens, and bookmarks, as well as information about clubs, policies, and teachers names/room numbers. Students in this class can write a letter to new students to include in the packet that talks a little bit about the climate of Edison, what students like about Edison, who they are, etc... We can also think of more helpful supplies to include in the packet. Pamela suggested a map of the school, a page about the history of Edison, a list of winter sporting events, and a map of where buses pick students up - if we do this, Pamela would like it ready for the Nov. 17 Edison showcase.
