Reminder

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Please remember to bring in the third notebook that I discussed in class prior to vacation and what I had on the supply list since September. We will discuss this during class on Tuesday.

421 - For those of you who've been emailing me about the Reflection Outline, here it is:

Recycling, Toys R Us and SCO Reflection

Paragraph One
·         In two or more paragraphs, describe in DETAIL our purpose for recycling. Include how we came to this decision as a fundraiser, when we commenced (began) and when we finished, the support of PS/IS 127 and the types of bottles that were acceptable and not acceptable.  Describe every “special” moment and encounter we had with people on our way to the recycling machine, during our wait (i.e. the singing and begging) and on our way back to the school.  Lastly, discuss how much money we raised from recycling and monetary donations. PLEASE WRITE THIS PARAGRAPH(S) IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER OF THE EVENTS THAT OCCURRED DURING THIS RECYCLING EXPERIENCE. ALSO USE AN ENGAGING HOOK IN THE FIRST LINE OF THIS PARAGRAPH.
Paragraph Two
·         Describe in detail your experience at Toys R Us (your selection of gifts, your group, etc.) and wrapping the gifts at school.
Paragraph Three
·         Describe in detail your experience at the St. Christopher Ottilie Family Shelter. Think about your feelings before visiting there. What did you anticipate would happen before arriving? What happened when you actually arrived there? Who did you meet?  What did you do there (first, second, last, etc.)? How did the children respond to your visit, your activities, the gifts and your departure? How did this experience meet your expectations?
Paragraph Four
·         Based on what you have learned and your hands on experience, how has this changed your perspective on those who continuously visit the recycling machines for a living to “make ends meet”? What will be your thoughts the next time you see people at the machines on your visit to the supermarket with your family, friends or when you’re alone? What is your attitude towards helping people, especially in our case “by any means necessary”?
Paragraph Five
·         Conclusion- How would you rate your overall experience? Explain why.  What did you like and/or dislike? What would you have liked to be added and/or taken away from this experience? What life lesson did you learn from each experience overall? What other experiences like this do you hope to have? Explain why. When you are in your warm home with family and/or friends this holiday season, what will you appreciate even more having had this experience? Explain why. PLEASE END THIS PARAGRAPH WITH A DYNAMITE CONCLUSION!
