We welcomed Morgan back to class this week and she told a TRUE story about a near iguana attack! We gave her feedback, which I know she will put to good use.
Then we hit the ground running in regards to the upcoming speeches all about some aspect of "the future."
Logan chose to focus on possibilities. Eric is tackling changes. And Morgan is going to explore careers.
Teacher Genne laid out the best way to introduce your speech. Everyone was able to brainstorm questions, research quotes, and brainstorm anecdotes.
For HOMEWORK- make a decision about which you will use to introduce your topic and then jump right in! Start outlining your speech!!
During 4th hour, Morgan presented on the book, How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.
She gave great self examples of principles from the book. Everyone appreciated her use of having classmates read quotes. And she highly recommends this book to EVERYONE! Great job, Morgan!
We then reveled in all the positive feedback we received from our fabulous Halloween bash!
But we also talked about what went wrong and what could've been better. It was the perfect time to turn in a written activity brief. I could really tell you put your whole heart and soul into these;). Thanks to those who turned them in.
Remember getting and giving feedback is the perfect way for us to grow and hone our leadership skills. We will take all this feedback and quickly apply it to our next event--Christmas!
Lastly, we brainstormed for our Christmas party. I think we came up with a really great game plan. Next week, we will break into focus groups to set it into action. Be thinking about what portion you want to see come to fruition.
-White Elephant Gift Exchange
-Talent Show
-Dessert Christmas Bake-off
Refreshments
-decor
-service project
-Craft room- (hopefully, student government can take this over)
HOMEWORK-
-Choose a fictional leader for your leadership quote this week (ex-Dumbledore, Gandolf, etc). This is supposed to be fun:)
-Figure out what part of the Christmas party you would like to be involved with. (Or you will just be assigned a part.)
Also, next week Jared and Adam will present on a leadership book!! I know they can't wait.
Have a wonderful week!
