CI-149 Service Learning-Creative Writing and Literacy
In this course, students meet community needs by engaging in service-learning outside the classroom. This course will explore the value of creativity and play in developing reading and writing skills and the habits of lifelong learning, both in our own lives and in the lives of young people in Boston. In this course, we will work closely with the non-profit literacy organization 826 Boston, which works with students ages 6-18 on reading and writing skills through playful, creative workshops, as well as tutoring and other kinds of support. Students will learn about the work of 826 Boston by volunteering with the organization, and by the end of the semester you will conceive, plan, and run creative writing workshops of your own at 826 Boston.
