This prompt is rather open-ended. In your second sequence groups, please take thirty minutes to collaboratively compose what you learned this quarter about “service” — as a word, as a concept, as a set of practices, as a form of learning, as an experience — the choice is yours.
Here are some possible approaches to help you focus:
1. Look at the definitions we were working with. Do you think a new definition is necessary? If so, compose one and provide some example usages.
2. Return to the course texts. How did some of them, or one of them in particular, help you better understand “service”?
3. Check out the UW rhetoric for “service-learning.” Given your experiences, how would you revise this language? Give examples.
4 . Consider Tuesday’s panel. What did you learn from it and how does it map onto “service”?
I will be taking your responses, editing them, and posting them — together with your work on Alcoff, Cruz, and Illich — on the collaboratory soon. That said, make your entry engaging, concise, and quality. And categorize it under “service.”
Ideally, you could use this entry in your MP2, right? Indeed…
