AOI and Week Without Walls

AOIs and Week Without Walls A look at how school without walls connects to Community and Service

Community and Service • How do we live in relation to each other? • How can I contribute to the community? • How can I help others? • How can I interact with my environment and improve it? 5/13/2009 2 Abdullah, Abdulrahman, Hasan and Ricky

Community and Service SIMPLE Examples of how this AOI can be applied to our everyday environment 5/13/2009 3 Abdullah, Abdulrahman, Hasan and Ricky

Recycling at School • There is lots of paper to be recycled. • There is also lots of plastic and glass from students’ snacks. • For community and service hours lots of people will volunteer, supplying the project with manpower. 5/13/2009 6 Abdullah, Abdulrahman, Hasan and Ricky

Advantages of Recycling • Reusing materials, therefore reducing raw production and rescuing resources such as wood and oil. • Gives jobs to unemployed people. • Reduces the workload on garbage collection. 5/13/2009 8 Abdullah, Abdulrahman, Hasan and Ricky

Example 2 Power Consumption 5/13/2009 10 Abdullah, Abdulrahman, Hasan and Ricky

Electricity • It runs everything in our modern lives. If you were to cutoff electricity Americans wouldn’t have light, water, gas or any form of communication. • There are many ways of making electricity. The most common is by burning irreplaceable fossil fuels that hurt the environment. 5/13/2009 12 Abdullah, Abdulrahman, Hasan and Ricky

Community and Service and Electricity • In order to stop the deteriorating environmental situation electricity consumption must go down. • The best way to do this is by awareness. Something that needs a lot of volunteers. 5/13/2009 13 Abdullah, Abdulrahman, Hasan and Ricky

Example 3 Preserving History 5/13/2009 17 Abdullah, Abdulrahman, Hasan and Ricky

Shaikh Faisal Al-Thani Museum • The museum showed us snaps from history, especially cars. • His private collection is considered part of the AOI because it will teach the next generations about history. 5/13/2009 18 Abdullah, Abdulrahman, Hasan and Ricky
