Dear SL colleagues,

Ms. Cathryn Kaye, author of the soon to be published new edition of The
Service Learning Bookshelf, is seeking short descriptions of service
learning projects and activities that individuals have completed that are
focused on any theme of service.  In addition, she is looking for books that
have a service-learning connection.  For example: The Autobiography of
Malcolm X could connect with activism, cultural understanding; The Grapes of
Wrath connects with immigration, poverty, homelessness, hunger; Romeo and
Juliet connects with gang violence; Journals of Lewis and Clark connects
with environment, cultural awareness; Tuck Everlasting connects with the
elderly; Sister Carrie connects with homelessness.  The descriptions for
both items should be 3-4 sentences about the book, a brief synopsis and 3-4
sentences about what kind of project this could lead to, for example, Romeo
and Juliet could lead to high school students planning a series of small
group discussions with middle school students about how to avoid gang
interaction.  For additional information email Ms. Kaye at cbkaye@aol.com.
