U1C6L2 Service Learning

As you plan for all of the tasks that need to be completed, you realize that there is no way that you can accomplish a recycling drive for the whole community in the time that you have for the project. What should you do?

• Revise the project goal. Instead of trying to cover the whole community, target a realistic number of neighborhoods.

• Scrap the whole plan and try to come up with a more realistic service learning project.

• Keep going and hope that you can miraculously accomplish it all once you get going.

• Revise the plan of action document from four pages to two by deleting some of the tasks.
