 * Lesson 1. Introduction**

E-mail from Stephanie Ogden to STEM Academy faculty:
Attachments:  Pdf version of the file:     Sent Items, Advisory Curriculum   Tuesday, January 10, 2012 1:50 AM    The attached keynote presentation includes a brief (3-4 minute) video about the history of the MLK holiday (including a call to service), and a group activity reinforcing STEM class lessons on empathy in an advisory class activity introducing a series on service. The presentation contains all instructions for groups and suggested timing.

Each group will submit a single document. We suggest you assign a grade for this work. We want students who are acting in good faith to earn good grades in Advisory: -The Advisory Curriculum Committee
 * Observers should probably earn B's,
 * Contributors should do even better.
 * You might want to leave a few points at the top to distinguish true leaders.
 * Non-participants and recalcitrant detractors should lose points.

**Lesson 2. Define**

E-mail from the Advisory Curriculum Committee to STEM Academy faculty: Attachments:   Pdf version of the file: Tuesday, January 17, 2012 9:20 AM  Please look through the attached PowerPoint. It reviews (with the kids) what happened last week. If you need (or wish) to continue with the lesson from last Tuesday before going on with this one, please feel free. The next task of the Advisory Curriculum Committee will be to create more detailed plans for the upcoming unit on service, but a broad idea is included in the attached PowerPoint. Broadly speaking, we want the kids to design and implement service projects. They do not have to work on the one their advisory group designs. Recruiting workers will likely be a part of the design challenge. We welcome your creative ideas. -The Advisory Curriculum Committee

**Lesson 3. Selections** Sent Items, Advisory Curriculum Thursday, January 19, 2012 8:39 AM  Today's advisory will be to select one of the following (or your own idea):
 * E-mail from the Advisory Curriculum Committee to STEM Academy faculty (based on compilations of last week's advisory work):**
 * Children need clothes because it's cold. 
 * Poor countries need aid because conditions are rough 
 * Tornado victims need homes/goods because houses were destroyed. 
 * Elderly people need company because no one wants to be alone. 
 * Less fortunate need help with education because they need a brighter future.  Note: Friends of the Library needs our help with an event at the Convention Center.
 * The homeless need 
 * Some of our neighbors need help with home repairs 
 * Orphans (children in foster care) need secure longterm relationships. 
 * People with Asberger's need help developing friendships. 
 * Lost Sheep Ministries needs resources. 

After your advisory has chosen the ONE service project that most interests them (or one of their own devising) and a second choice they would be willing to do, please send me your choices so that we can ensure that everyone is not doing the same project. If there are two homerooms who have the same interests, pairing advisories will be an option.

You may use the remainder of the time for a quiet and on-task study hall. Please discourage game playing and off-task behavior. This should be a true study hall.

Thank you, The Advisory Curriculum Committee

** Report to Advisories: ** To: STEM Academy Staff ‎; STEM Academy Students Sent Items, Advisory Curriculum Thursday, January 19, 2012 3:05 PM   Here is the list of service projects identified by your advisories. The good news is that each advisory can develop their first choice (except possibly Mr. Smith's, which has some self-identified challenges). Further, students whose advisory did not choose their favorite project can still help out when other advisories implement a program in that domain. For example, Mrs. Ellis's students who really want to help homeless people can still pitch in on the project Dr. Knox's group ultimately implements and everyone can help with Mrs. Lawyer's fundraisers. Advisors and advisees, thanks so much for your leadership in our community! -The Advisory Curriculum Committee
