OPINIONS ABOUT SERVICE LEARNING

My opinion on service learning is that we should continue on our old projects from last year. The reason why we should continue from last year is because if we keep changing the project the project will never get completed. The groups should be doubled into six groups because my opinion is that with fewer groups it will be less complicated. Also if the mural project doesn’t go well because the owner for the building don’t approve for the mural to be built on the school wall we should change that plan right now because it is a 50/50 chance that we won’t be able to do that project. Also if they keep changing the project, what will we, as the class of 2010 has to show?

THIS YEAR NHD

This year NHD went by very fast to me. The reason why I said that this year NHD went by so fast is because I worked with a group and I feel as though I could have done more to the project. It was really stressful this year because you had to think about your group members and how you were going to affect them if you didn’t put an input to the project. Also you had to worry about if they did they’re work.

LAST YEAR NHD

Last year NHD was much easier because I worked by myself. Also I did a paper on a different topic that I knew a lot more information on, which was Cuban immigration. I really had fun last year working by myself because I got a lot more work done. I got more work done faster last year because I work better independently. Also I had an instructor that lead me down the road to success on my paper by giving me advice every time I needed it. That teacher was Mr. Romero. Mr. Romero showed me how to write the paper how it was suppose to be done. So my next step on the NHD process is to do a paper next year. The reason why I am going to do a paper next year is because like I stated before is because I work better independently.

NHD RESULTS

NHD

The National History Day project was totally different this year. The reason why my project was different is because I did a paper last year by myself, and this year I did a board which was done by a group. I worked with ninth graders and tenth graders which they had a little bit of confrontation with each other. The good advantage that I had this year with NHD was that I learned that it is a little more stressful to work with a group in general, weather if it is with ninth or tenth graders.
