Part+I+Making+a+Connection

=Part I: Making a Connection = In this activity, we will use a teacher identified web resource and a wiki discussion board to help students make a personal connection with the content and to share their prior knowledge on these issues. This is designed to be an INDIVIDUAL, not a group assignment.

**CHALLENGE:** Think about what community service means to you. How would you help this world if you had the ability?

**TASK:** Check out the website dosomething.org and browse through the causes and issues that are listed on that page. You will then share your thoughts in the discussion tab above. Click on the tab, select the Community Service Brainstorming link. Make sure you read the prompt before responding.

You will post to this discussion TWICE.
 * 1) your initial, personal thoughts
 * 2) your response to someone else. Please make sure to begin this by addressing that person so we know to whom your response is directed. For example: //I like what John said about..//.

**Teachers:** You will need to log into wikispaces to post to the discussion. If you do not have an account, please use **//htsdguest//** for your username and password.
