While experimenting with teaching English 191 Composition course at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota and searching for a way to relate the abstractions of my discipline to the realities of the world, I stumbled into service learning and created a course that truly convinced me of the revolutionary potential of service learning in transforming the stale educational practice. This article will record my experience with the course and the lessons I learned from it. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.iupui.edu/~josotl/archive/vol_6/no_2/v6n2mikolchak.pdf">https://www.iupui.edu/~josotl/archive/vol_6/no_2/v6n2mikolchak.pdf</a>JOHN BUCKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04359557217367148116noreply@blogger.com2
