Leadership Apprentice Week 4: Feb 2023

For the Play:

(A Message from Traci)

Please come with your script and be prepared to do a very very fast run through of the show.  This is a great way to get the flow of the show in your brain.  We won't be rehearsing with the songs in the show, but if we have time we will review the songs we know afterwards.  

Play rehearsal starts right after opening this week.  Be prepared!  Or be squared!

  APPRENTICE: Law 4: Love Humanity, Become a Servant Leader

"And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God."

- Mosiah 2:17

Study/Learn

Mission Driven Life: 

1. Read Ch. 6 in "The Mission Driven Life" .  Mark quotes that you like and be prepared to discuss why you like them.
2. Listen to this mission driven story: "Frederick Douglass" (58 min)
1. Write down how this story showed him living Law 4.
3. Find someone outside of your immediate family to serve this week.  That's all the instructions I'm giving you.  Use your inspiration and go out and serve someone.

Government: 

Just a note: This is going to look like a lot.  At the same time, they're quick reads and quick worksheets.  I wish we had time to hit the history with all of these, but there's just too much for the time we have.  So, this will give you a good summary of the amendments to our Constitution.  I highly recommend teamwork to knock this out if you can.  You've got this!

Know/Understand

Choose one of The Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments), Prepare a brief (2-4 minute) presentation on the main right it protects; is the right important to you, why or why not; is the right challenged by anything going on today (feel free to ask anyone, parents included, if they know of examples); and lastly, why does the bill of right you selected matter today?

We will play a game during the latter portion of Apprentice.  For the game, the House and Senate will vote on rules for the game and propose the rule to the President, who will sign or veto the rule. We will use the questions and answers from the workbook in the game, so be prepared!

 

Become/Serve

Consider: Do you believe any of the rights in the Amendments to the U.S. Constitution are more important than another. Share with a family member why or how you think the world might be different if that right did not exist in the Constitution.
