For my service project i decided to use my little cousin. She wasn't being a team player and i had to bribe her with some McDonald's then she finally agreed and when i told her we were going to be comparing and contrasting butterflies and moths she wasn't to happy because she said thats what they were doing in class and didn't want to do it at home also. We started with making the first part of the KWL chart and then i told her she was free and able to explore the internet and look for any resources that would help her to answer her questions. She found a few neat websites that showed pictures and gave really good information about butterflies and moths.
For this first session we are learning about the egg stage of the life cycle. I let her control the computer and take control on where she looked up her information. Then from there we compared the stage of the egg from the butterfly and moth. After our research was done i told her she was going to make a blog of her own and she would be writing in it, she was actually pretty excited because she said this was the closest she would get to having a facebook without getting in trouble with her parents. At first she didn't know what to write and i told her it was her blog and she could write what we did that day, but that it was her own blog and she could say what she wanted. Im excited for this project and excited about working with my cousin because im introducing her to new things that she had never done before like a KWL chart and blogging.
