Abstract

This paper presents a course outline, a list of required readings, and procedures for "Narrative, Community, and Communication," an honors class at the University of Southern Mississippi. The paper explains that the course focuses on volunteer community service--the idea being to place the student in a setting of genuine need to help build up the community by helping a person that the student would not normally be around. The paper gives examples of types of community service, instructions to keep a journal of the experiences, an explanation of what is expected for the final paper, a sample of a typical segment of the 7 2-week segments, and a course framework.
