The “Big Idea” in service learning is to:1. Identify a big problem in our world2. Learn
about the problem3. Think about ways to help solve the problem4.
Take
action and work as a group to help solve the problemSlide7
One Idea!
What if PRR wrote and published a book about Wildlife Protection to share with our families, friends, teachers and classmates?What are some ideas we could include in the “Operation Wildlife” Protection Book?How might this book help wildlife in Missouri?Slide8
Operation WildlifeWe Need Everyone’s Help
If PRR was to write and publish a book about protecting wildlife in Missouri and the World, everyone in PRR could help make a page for the book. Some PRR kids might make more than one
page!Slide9
Here is a sample of w
hat a page might look like:Slide10
1-2-3-4 Plan for this page:
1. a picture of the animal – photo from a website or a drawing by the student2. some facts about the animal3. how humans can protect this animal
4. Sources – where you got your informationSlide11
Now it’s Your Turn!
1. Choose a wildlife animal to create a page about for our book2. Research about this animal: use library books, wildlife magazines, and educational websites to get information and interesting facts3. Choose a photo or create a drawing of your animal
4. Make a sloppy copy of your wildlife page5. Go to the Computer Lab and create your wildlife page on the computerSlide12
We Can Publish our Book Pagesin Power Point!
1. Open a new Power Point2. Choose a layout for the page3. Orientate the book page – Landscape or Portrait – we all
must do this the same way for
the
group book!
4. Insert animal photos, drawings, your writing about your animal
5. Save your file
6. Let you PRR teacher make a copy of your file on the PRR Flash DriveSlide13
After PRR’s Operation Wildlife Book is Published…..
Who could you show this book to to teach others about wildlife once it is printed?Slide14
PRR’s Operation Wildlife Book
What is the “Big Idea” of this PRR’s Operation Wildlife book?Just think, after people read our book about protecting wildlife in Missouri and the World, PRR’s work might influence others to protect wildlife too! Think how many animals this will save, many even from become extinct!! Remember the Red Wolf!! They still live today!!
