Your service learning team is developing a plan of action for a community wide recycling drive. 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.

Which of the following would NOT be a rule for Executing the Service in a service learning project?

• Ensure that you understand the task or goal at hand. If you are not sure, ask an authority.

• If you are a team leader, make sure your team members are assigned to the easiest tasks.

• If a situation or problem arises that needs an authority's attention, take what actions you can and have someone contact the person in charge.

• Arrive on time and always be courteous.
