Tuesday, August 9 -- Week 16

Week 16 is due Wednesday.    

Our course ends Friday, August 12.  We have 4 days left in our course!  If you are behind, you need to make a plan and catch up.  If you wish to finish early, go ahead and look at Weeks 17 & 18 so you are mentally preparing for your final exam activities. Week 16 is our last week of new material so you are only a few modules away from finishing the classwork portion of the course. You got this!  

  

  

Just as Rosie the Riveter represented empowerment for WWII, women continue to represent empowerment in today's world.  Why do you think women are seen as the catalyst for change and equality?  The United Nations Women organization offers one explanation for how women affect the development of the world.  Check out their exploration of empowerment at http://www.un.org/esa/socdev/ngo/outreachmaterials/empowerment-booklet.pdf

The guidebook proposal is based on how companies like Amazon as well as Barnes and Noble advertise books online.  Go to one or both sites, search for your favorite book, and then review the guide.  Notice how you see an overview...just enough to interest you and get you to buy the book.  Remember that you are the author of the book you are making a guide for -- you are not writing each chapter but you are trying to get teens to buy the book by including information that will interest them.  The requirements are listed in the module and a template with further details is posted there as well.  The last frame of the template includes ideas to help you go above and beyond -- one of the ideas is to write a few pages from a chapter to use a preview so let your creativity and your knowledge of leadership guide you!

Be sure you read the announcement about Your Final Exam!
