4 - Do a Hero Study.  Instructions found in the tool box.


5 - Read the article "On the Responsible Self".  Print out the article and practice marking it like you learned how to mark a book last month. (Because this is an article you will want to mark quotes you like and try to find principles.)

6 - As mentors, we want you to feel comfortable sharing your inspirements and the things you are learning with the class.  Read through this information about how to give a presentation.  Use the things you learn and prepare a 2 minute presentation on the hero you studied this week.  We will all be sharing our hero presentations in class.

Know/Understand

CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING TO DO:

- After reading the article "On the Responsible Self", choose one of the following questions and journal on it for 20 minutes.  How can you use what you learned to take better responsibility in your own life?

          1. How has an attitude of blame affected society at large? 

              How can it affect our interpersonal relationships?

          2. How are the concepts of individual freedom and personal responsibility 

              related to the Atonement?

          3. How does obeying the commandments help preserve our freedom?

- Reread Gilbert Arland's advice on page 115 in “21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader”.  Answer the questions in the paragraph after the quote on p. 116 and evaluate yourself on how responsible you are.  Journal about what you discover in yourself and set a goal to become better.

Become/Serve
(If you are doing more than 1 level of class this week, just choose ONE Become/serve for the whole week.)

What heroic qualities did you most admire about the hero you studied? For 24 hours do your best to act out that quality. Record what you did. For example, if the heroic quality you admire is courage, write down ways you were courageous in your day, like “I had the courage to try a new dinner my mom made. I had courage to call and make an appointment for myself, to do my chores without being reminded, and to speak calmly to my sister when she was mad and I was tempted to yell. I was tempted to tell a lie but I had the courage to tell the truth.”
