I like how you are able to fold the work of your curriculum into work that serves others...this is what inspires me about the whole notion of service learning: the fact that it doesn't have to be something "extra." It can be the work of your class...

Mark, This is an excellent idea. I hope you are able to secure funding from a source to assist you in maintaining a project that will benefit many people struggling in your local community. I'm sure the kids you have contact with at your facility ...

Here is a video by bread guru Peter Reinhart. I love how he talks about bread as transformation and I love the passion he brings to the science of bread making!

Helping the community by baking bread

Most of the time, things never happen quickly in a correctional facility. About 9 months after I started my Culinary Arts program at the facility, they bought me an oven. Six months later, they actually ran the wires to hook it up. Over a year ago I started talking about doing a service learning project with my classes (you can read a couple of posts here and here).

Gosh, Amber you have real talent. I really enjoyed reading your poem because I had to 'think' about the message and the writer's intention. I think I get it. Keep writing, as there really does need to be more poets in the world. And... I agree the...

Thanks Kristen for that idea. I haven't read the book although I have it in the Library. I will now read it and add it to either my Book Club or my Year 7 reading program. Linking the text into action on issues of social justice is a great idea.

I enjoyed reading your poem, Kevin. One comment from your former ELA teacher: Capitalize your "I". Unless you are going for an e.e. cummings thing; in which case all of your "I"s should be uniformly lowercased!!!! ;o) Great work! I love reading th...

The students at my school this year were inspired by Daraja Academy (see Mark Lukach's page on this ning and my entries about our Sleepout for School's initiative). I'm about to send a cheque for over $900.00 to Mark that he will pass onto the fou...
