APPRENTICE: Law 6: Courageously Execute, Apply Principled Solutions to Real World Problems
Law 7: Do It Again: And Again and Again...
Leadership Journeyman
1. We're going to make quills using feathers from a bird that almost became the national bird. (What bird is that?)
Watch this Video so you know the basic way to make a quill. I'll have all the supplies here...except for ink for everyone.
2. If you have quill ink, and are willing to share for the class period, please bring it to share.
3. Watch this 13 minute video about Abraham Lincoln's life. Principle #6 is courageously execute. Can you see how Lincoln did that in his life?
Watch this 7 minute discussion about Lincoln. Do you agree with the premise of the video? Why or why not? Come prepared to discuss this. By the way, it's ok to disagree.
4. Study these symbols of the US to whatever extent you feel it necessary:
This year we've studied symbols of America in Journeyman. You've helped with jeopardy questions, and now it's time for jeopardy! You do not have a book to study, but you do have the internet.
Oh, by the way. While we will have teams for the game, only 1 person will get to represent the team for each question. So you should come prepared! Just a few basic facts about each symbol would be super helpful!
Plymouth Rock
Independence Hall
The White House
The Capitol Building
The Supreme Court Building
The Washington Monument
The Lincoln Memorial
The Statue of Liberty
Ellis Island
Mount Rushmore
The Flag
The Liberty Bell
Uncle Sam
The Great Seal of the US

2. Remember on our tour of the Capitol Building in February, we saw the Great Seal of the United States on the floor. It was huge! Why does the seal matter so much? Watch each of these videos about the Great Seal:
Know/Understand
Make your OWN seal! One that represents YOU. The great seal of the US (and any nation) is a symbol, or many symbols, that represent that nation, and give it a direction or a purpose. This goes along with Law 5 of Mission Driven Life: Hear the Call: Obtain a clear vision of Where you can Serve.
So think about what your "coat of arms" or "great seal" would be. And make it!
Some rules:
1. The symbol needs to be brought to class to share. Hard copy. Not digital!
2. It can be any shape, but it needs to be "shaped." Meaning don't use a regular 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper, or a page in your commonplace book. Make it nice. Something you'd want to go home and hang on your bedroom wall.
3. It can be as simple or complex as your want, but you will describe the symbolism in class.
4. It can be hand drawn or made on a computer.
5. Put some real thought into your symbol, and again, make it nice! Be proud of it!
IN CLASS
We will:
1. Get VanBucks for the quiz
2. Show our seals
3. Do a couple projects that were slotted for IA, but instead will fit into Leadership.
First, remember the herb walk we took way back in the fall? We put a bunch of herbs in some oil to make some healing balm later in the year. We're going to make it! You'll all get to take some home.
Second, we are going to do some leather stamping. You can bring your home-made journal and stamp it if you want. We still have leather pieces here, so you can cut a bookmark to go with your journal and stamp it. If you have any other leather "thing" like a bracelet or something, you can bring it to stamp.
It'll be a fun class! Hope to see you ALL there!
APPRENTICE: Law 5: Hear the Call, Obtain a Clear Vision of Where you Can Serve
Gettysburg was the battle that ultimately decided the outcome of the Civil War. This movie does an excellent job of showing the key events of the battle, and great leadership.
This movie (or at least clips from it) is used in leadership seminars. It's powerful, and well worth your time.
So...the assignment: Watch the movie "Gettysburg."
That's it.
Make popcorn if you wish. Work on your history project if you can. Enjoy it!
You can rent it on Prime Video for $3.79

(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!
