Here are the major writing assignments, sequenced from English 101-103, that Jonathan developed for his service-learning course on HIV and AIDS.
Major Writing Assignment Sequence
All students, throughout the sequence, will be required to keep a journal, which will contain responses (usually provoked by prompts) about specific course readings, speakers, discussions, or issues. In addition, all writing will be undertaken with potential Web publication in mind; indeed, throughout the course, students will be focused on ( 1) thinking about service-learning experiences and potential projects and (2) assisting in the development of the YOUth & AIDS Website. And finally, each course will require students to write capstone reflection essays, in which they discuss and examine (albeit briefly) how their various experiences of service learning have furthered the development of both their writing skills and their individual styles as writers.
