MELS is "A School for a Sustainable City" and a New York City Outward Bound School. MELS uses the Expeditionary Learning education model, which focuses on student engagement and student achievement through case studies and expeditions. For example, in a 9th-grade English class, learners read "I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban" by Christina Lamb and Malala Yousafzai. During this case study, students learned how an individual enacts change. Learners were asked to explore the idea of creating change by researching an issue within their community. In small groups, learners selected and researched an issue within their community, building understanding of why the issue is a problem. Students then proposed a solution to solve the issue. The issue students chose to research became the focus of their day of service. Students were also required to create a zine about the issue and share their zine with the community. A zine is a short, self-published work that allows students to express their ideas about an issue in a creative do-it-yourself style. During a series of collaborative library lessons, students learned how to research and write to create a zine that showed what they had learned about enacting change. In this article, the following learning outcomes were achieved by learners through the Zine Project's collaborative library lessons. |
