Second graders created a mural mosaic with a local artist on a graffiti-covered wall of their school. To reflect on the experience, each student drew and colored a small image on paper that came from or represented the larger mural. Each student wrote a sentence that was glued to the artwork. The sentence expressed something they heard someone say while they were out improving the look of their neighborhood.

Four seventh graders wrote an article for the school newspaper, describing their service-learning project of cleaning up a polluted river. They each took a different perspective of the same event. One student described the project in detail. Another student wrote about the interactions with community partners. A third student wrote about her feelings. The fourth student wrote about the impact of the project on the learners and the community. She also described the future plans. The school newspaper printed it, and so did the local city newspaper.

A high school class recorded a video interview of several classmates who participated in creating a rain garden at the city hall building. The students shared their feelings about the project and what they learned. They also discussed the impact of the project on themselves and its meaning to the community. They posted the video on the school website and encouraged others to get involved in maintaining the garden.
