Service Learning 9: Identity and Ethnic Studies is a six-week course designed for 9th graders to explore their identity and culture, as well as examine historical factors that shape social constructions such as race, ethnicity, nationality, gender and class. This is an introductory course to the four-year Service Learning Program at Urban. The course will provide students with foundational tools, language and concepts for thoughtful and engaged community and global citizenship, which will be explored further during their 10th-12th grade Service Learning courses. Students are expected to understand how identity factors, along with culture, help shape one’s identity and experiences. They are expected to further develop their sense of self-awareness, personal responsibility and purpose through the completion of an online journal, daily homework assignments, unit projects and a culminating final social construction media project. (Six week course. ¼ Credit)
