I. DEMONSTRATE SERVICE AS ACTION AS A RESULT OF THE PROJECT
"WITHOUT A SENSE OF CARING, THERE CAN BE NO SENSE OF COMMUNITY"
- ANTHONY J. D'ANGELO
This is when your action plan should come to life! Work hard to meet your deadlines, have fun, and enjoy the process.
things to remember:
- Every 2 weeks you should be scheduling a meeting with your supervisor to talk about how things are going, if changes need to be made to your action plan, etc.
- Don't forget about your process journal!
- As you know, making your thinking visible is very important!
- Throughout the process of "Taking Action", your process journal should be filled with your thoughts, your roles, your jobs, and you should even be filling things up with photos, screenshots, any reflections/ideas, or anything else that can show how you are serving the community.
