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!

All of the work will be out of the "Understanding the U.S. Constitution" workbook

3. Read page 44, Introduction, and answer questions 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7 on page 45
4. Read page 46, The Bill of Rights - 1-3, and answer questions 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 on page 47
5. Read page 48, The Bill of Rights - 4-5 and answer questions 1, 3, 6, 7, 9 and 10 on page 49
6. Read page 50, The Bill of Rights - 7-10 and answer questions 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 on page 51

10. Watch this video - All 27 Amendments  (~5 minutes)
11. Watch this about remembering the Amendments (~6 minutes)
    

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. 

 

Visit Utah Voting  so you can see what you need to prepare to register to vote when you are 18!

Leadership Journeyman Week 4: Feb 2023

 Leadership Journeyman Week 4: Feb 2023

Leaders shape our history. Did you ever think of yourself as a leader? Some leaders are famous, but SO many more leaders are not. You can be a leader in your sphere of influence. Or if that sounds intimidating, how about a good example?

One thing that will make you a better leader, or example, is studying great people of the past, and being inspired to be better. So that's our goal this year in Leadership Journeyman.

 

Study/Learn

1.Watch these 2 3-minute videos about Dolly Madison. They each give a unique perspective:

Dolley Madison 1

Dolley Madison 2

Think about how she lived Law 4: Love Humanity, Become a Servant Leader

In your CPB, write at least 3 interesting facts about Dolley.  We will play a game with these in class.

2. Take a few minutes to take this quiz on the Symbols of America. Do your best! If you want to look up the answers, feel free. Or can just give it your best shot and see what you know without any help. Vanbucks for correct answers!

Know/Understand

Choose 1 of these 2 Options:

1. Make a Dolley Madison Treat and bring it to class to share. This Article has 5 ideas, but you are welcome to look for others.

No one could quite make presidential desserts like Dolley Madison.  There was even a Dolly Madison Treat company named after her, years after she died.

2. Choose 1 person (or group of people) who lived sometime between 1775-1850 and lived in colonial America, and study them. You may do this assignment with your siblings if you choose. (So choose 1 person to study together). Or you can do it individually.

 Make a video presentation OR a live presentation (in class)  about your chosen person.  Keep it between 2-4 minutes, and make it interesting! If you are working with a sibling, you only need 1 presentation that you work on together.

This person can be:

*A spiritual leader

*A political leader

*An ancestor

*Literally anyone you find inspiring

Things to discover and INCLUDE in your presentation (video).

*How did they live  Law 4: Love Humanity, Become a Servant Leader

OR

*How did they live a mission driven life?

OR

*How did they help in the cause of Freedom?

While dates and timelines have their place, in this case, they are not interesting! (Aside from being able to put the person into a particular timeframe). Include what you discovered and tell a good story!  Inspire us!

Become/Serve

A big part of leadership is Service. Go out of your way to serve someone this week, and write about your service in your journal. Write about how it made you feel.
