After a few weeks of discussion, debate, research, and calling local organizations, we finally selected our charitable organizations in which we wish to help in our community.  Our students will divide and conquer, working on three projects over the next month.  One group will prepare, cook, and serve dinner at Pathfinders; a local organization which helps children impacted by poverty and homelessness.  One group will create and deliver tie blankets to Milwaukee Women’s Shelter; which primarily serves abused women and children.  One group will work on collecting much needed winter supplies for Hope House; which helps many homeless veterans in our city.

As we have progressed our ideas past the idea stage, we have done so with a collaborative ideology in mind.  All students in their groups utilize the same Google Document, allowing for close collaboration within each group.  After each group finished, we shared our documentation with other groups, allowing for Positive, Specific, and Helpful feedback to occur.
