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.
