Before posting any of your assignments, ask yourself the following questions:

• Did I follow all instructions found in the directions as well as in the rubric?
• Did I completely answer the questions?
• Do I clearly reflect that I understand and am thinking about the topic as it relates to leadership?  Did I use any weekly vocab?
• Do I clearly reflect that I am applying the topic to my life and my leadership development --asking questions, giving examples, etc.?

Today's Assignment:

• Module 8 Lesson 2 Assignment

Module 8 Lesson 2 Assignment - US Leaders Resume and Cover Letter 

In this assignment, you will use what you learned in Lesson 2 along with research you completed in the Lesson 2 Practice Activity to create a resume and cover letter for one of the leaders in Lesson 2.  Your job is to focus on leadership experience and show why the American leader is great.  Start by writing an objective - use the objective starter in the assignment directions.  Find a resume template and create your leader's resume.  There are recommended applications in the directions and sample of resumes above in this announcement.  Then compose a cover letter that includes the elements listed in the directions.  Not only does this activity showcase how you apply your knowledge, it gives you the chance to practice resume-writing which is a necessary college and work-place skill.
