Abstract

Onekama Middle School teachers and students have embarked upon a three-part service learning project involving sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students in four classes: English, Computer Applications, Social Studies, and Michigan History. Students make connections with senior citizens in our community as they teach them about computer skills (Project NetGap), learn more about their lives (Oral History Project), and create a publication based on the lives of the senior citizens that is distributed county-wide (The Wellspring).
