What an astounding group of leaders we have this year! Genevieve and I are looking forward to working with you. We are going to accomplish great things together.
Third hour students jumped right in as they gave their first speech of the year. Eric convinced us that goals were good, Morgan made us close our eyes and visualize, and Logan kept us laughing which will eventually kill us?! Great job! This next week we need to videotape you:).
Fourth hour had us brainstorming, discussing and pinning down our own WHYS. If you didn't get a chance to watch the Ted Talk, it can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sioZd3AxmnE.
We also talked about class requirements, class schedule, and our event planning.
This next week, be ready to choose a book for your presentation and a date to present.
Here is the book list:
BOOK LIST
The Element – Ken Robinson, Ph.D.
Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised – 11thedition*
*Must have for Parliamentary Procedure
Autodidactic, Self-Taught by James W. Parkinson
Do Hard Things by Alex and Bre' Harris
The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell
How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
Man's Search for Meaning – Victor Frankyl
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People or Teens – Covey
Remember, you can choose your own book. But it has to be non-fiction and based on leadership. No Harry Potter books!!
Also, don't forget to find a leadership quote or write down a leadership experience in your notebook. We will share these on Thursday.
One last thing, be ready for some REAL planning for our Halloween bash! The only plan set in stone is that Genevieve will be "spinning the records" for the dance.
See you all Thursday!!
