Power and Privilege Mid-Service Modules

Mid Service Discussion Module

Overview:
Mid service reflection provides an opportunity for you to consider the service learning
experience you have had thus far, and how you wish to continue this experience or perhaps
improve it in a meaningful way. A focused consideration of your learning thus far and the
progress you can make in the future weeks can lead to interesting insights and can deepen
your understanding and appreciation of your learning experience while you are still in the
midst of the experience itself.
A mid service module, in addition to allowing you to think about the potential the rest of your
service learning experience, can also help call into focus the learning and growth that has
already occurred. This can also give you an opportunity to think about how what you are
learning can relate to your other current learning experiences, both in and outside the
classroom.
During this discussion reflection exercise you will you will:
Articulate questions which will prompt classmates to name their personal privilege
Respond to classmates discussion points in a thoughtful way which challenges their
peers to think critically about their own power and privilege
Create a plan for how such discussions and conversation could facilitated in a face
to face context
Discussion Instructions:
This assignment is intended to prompt students to interact with and have productive,
respectful conversations with their classmates around the concepts of power and
privilege. The first part of this assignment is to write a brief (two paragraph) summary of
your service learning assignment and what your responsibilities are there. Within this
summary please include your experience with privilege on site.
Each student is then to respond to two of their classmates (assigned) twice. This should
result in a conversation that looks like this: Summary, response from classmate, response
to classmate, response from classmate, response to classmate. Thus in total each student
will write one summary, two responses to classmates and three responses from
classmates.
The third part of this assignment is to plan a discussion with questions and anticipated
situations which could be instituted in the classroom, rather than on-line. Two students will
be selected at random to execute their plan in a classroom setting.

Overview:
Mid service reflection provides an opportunity for you to consider the service learning
experience you have had thus far, and how you wish to continue this experience or
perhaps improve it in a meaningful way. A focused consideration of your learning thus
far and the progress you can make in the future weeks can lead to interesting insights
and can deepen your understanding and appreciation of your learning experience while
you are still in the midst of the experience itself.
A mid service module, in addition to allowing you to think about the potential the rest of
your service learning experience, can also help call into focus the learning and growth
that has already occurred. This can also give you an opportunity to think about how
what you are learning can relate to your other current learning experiences, both in and
outside the classroom.
During this blog reflection exercise you will:
Discuss power and privilege in a way that is easily understood by many types of
audiences who might access this online forum.
Articulate the ways in which this post acknowledges your own power and
privilege and the way this makes you feel.
Recognize the way in which other online media acknowledge and apply the
concepts of power and privilege.
Blog Instructions:
This blog intends to be an experience where a student can be creative. The blog
should be intentionally designed to convey the overall theme of the post and should
include at least three creative design elements. This could be a cartoon, a drawing,
computer generated art etc.
The blog should consist of four posts total. The first three posts should respond to the
prompts below, and the artistic aspects should be incorporated into all three of these
posts. The fourth and final post should be a brief discussion of the design elements of
the blog, and how the student intentionally picked each piece to complement his or her
writing.
The three blog posts should respond to each of the following questions:
1. What was your initial impression of the site where you are doing your service
learning? What do you think this reaction says about your understanding of
power and privilege in that moment?
2. Mid-way through your service learning project how has your impression and
understanding of the site where you are working changed? How does this

change of understanding reflect your changes in understanding of power and

privilege? What do you think this means for your own privilege?
3. How do you see this experience changing your experience on other learning
experiences you are currently engaged in? This could relate to your classroom
experiences, your extra-curricular activities etc.

The words power and privilege can mean many different things to many different people
at many different times in their lives. Please take a moment at this point in your life to
discuss your understanding of power and privilege and how it plays out in your life, as
well as how you have seen them play out on your service site. This is meant to be a
current snapshot of what you're thinking and feeling right now. This essay should be no
less than 5 pages long, and it should show evidence of thoughtful reflection about
where the students mind is at this point. Please be sure to include specific instances
which have brought you to your current conclusions.

Overview:
Mid service reflection provides an opportunity for you to consider the service learning
experience you have had thus far, and how you wish to continue this experience or
perhaps improve it in a meaningful way. A focused consideration of your learning thus
far and the progress you can make in the future weeks can lead to interesting insights
and can deepen your understanding and appreciation of your learning experience while
you are still in the midst of the experience itself.
A mid service module, in addition to allowing you to think about the potential the rest of
your service learning experience, can also help call into focus the learning and growth
that has already occurred. This can also give you an opportunity to think about how
what you are learning can relate to your other current learning experiences, both in and
outside the classroom.
During this Multimedia reflection exercise you will:
Demonstrate how power and privilege plays an important role in the
understanding of the goal of service learning.
Utilize the tools of multimedia to illustrate your learning process thus far in
your service learning and what it has taught about power and privilege.
Articulate the way in which your service site has changed your personal
perspective on power and privilege.
Multimedia Instructions:
This assignment is open ended and creative. A student can use any sort of multimedia
he or she chooses to illustrate the answer to the question below. Using any of the
following programs: video, Powerpoint, Xtranormal, Goanimate, Animoto, or PowToons,
the student should design a project that will generate a presentation that lasts
approximately 5 minutes that will generate a conversation after the presentation among
classmates lasting 20 minutes. The project is intended to be thought provoking and
respectful.
Prompt:
Describe in a 10 minute multimedia presentation how your perception of power and
privilege has changed over the course of the last few weeks in response to your service
learning experience. Pose at least three questions to your classmates for discussion
during the course of your presentation.
