Please make it realistic Service Learning Reflection (SLR) Paper While service facilitates active learning, writing about your experience and reflecting on your writing adds a layer of critical thinking you will not experience otherwise. For this assignment, you will write a three-page double-spaced paper about each of your two service experiences and reflect on what you write. Use one inch margins and 12-point font. To be graded, your paper must answer the questions in the outline below. Follow this outline to write your SLR. Be sure to provide details (but not names) in response to each question. Your response to each question should be at least one paragraph long. Similarly, each application of course materials (see#3) should be several lines long.

 1. Describe your experience (Write about at least three of the topics below).

 a. How did this experience affect you? For example, how did it cause you to recognize and respect human diversity or understand that developmental explanations may vary across populations and 

b. What are examples of personal biases you and/or others brought to the situation that influenced how you interacted? 

c. Did you encounter any ethical dilemmas? If so, cite the APA or SRCD ethical principle(s) and how you handled that situation.

 d. What knowledge did you gain that you did not get from reading and classroom experiences? e. Truth is stranger than fiction. Write about the most unusual experience you had as a part of this opportunity. 

2. What next? Thoroughly answer these questions. 

a. List at least two needs this site has and describe at least one practical way to address that need.

 b. Will you continue to volunteer at this site or one like it? Why or why not?

 c. What did you learn from this experience that you can use to make yourself a more competitive job or grad school applicant? 

d. Ask your service learning supervisor what educational qualifications and experience were required for them to gain this position. 

3. Check and reflect. 

a. After you have typed your responses to the first two sections of this assignment, print a copy and read it over. Go back to your paper and correct typos, add explanations where appropriate, and condense paragraphs when it makes sense. 

b. Next, apply course material. Either using something like MS Word’s comment function or and by hand writing on a printed copy of your three-page paper, add short paragraphs of course material near points you discussed in answering questions 1 a through 2 b. Examples of applications include the names and definitions of developmental concepts or the gist of research findings above. Do this beside or below your typed text where appropriate. You can draw arrows from your text to the application. Be the text or handwriting is legible and make sure you apply at least six different bits of course content from your readings and/or our class discussions. I recommend that you try to apply Bronfenbrenner’s ideas at least once but Bronfenbrenner should not be the only course content you apply.
