4. Add final touches to your TYPED Community Service Report. It is due on Monday. See information belowt for details:
COMMUNITY SERVICE REPORTS
You will turn in a word-processed document to Ms. Allen with a St. Luke’s heading that answers each of these questions for each different type of activity. For example, if you went to a couple of Amnesty meetings, you can put them in one paragraph, and write a different paragraph for a different activity. Make sure the work is done up to SLS standards for 7th/8th grade writing.
WHAT and WHERE were the events? Describe them.
WHEN did they take place – and for how long? Keep a running total of your hours on each monthly report.
WHY were these activities meaningful examples of community service? What did you learn from them? How did they help others?
