Module 12 is Committing to Lead. Two very important vocabulary words this week are Commitment and Perseverance. Commitment is a pledge or promise; obligation, an agreement or pledge to do something in the future. Perseverance means a steady persistence in a course of action and the continued effort to do or achieve something. Don’t you think Commitment and Perseverance go hand in hand? Sometimes the things you commit to can be hard to carry out, but if you persevere, even when it is tough, you will satisfy the commitment.
For example, soccer practice may be really hard one afternoon and it would be so easy to tell the coach you quit and walk off the field. However, if you persevere and work through the difficult practice, you will be a much better athlete and the coach will know your dedication to your team.

Module 12 Lesson 1 Assignment - Perseverance Newspaper Article
For yesterday's practice, you researched a famous person who persevered through adversity. For today's assignment, you will use that research, the lesson notes, and the results of 2 interview you conduct to write a newspaper article. You should interview one teen and one adult using the questions on the template provided. If it does not open, use the attachment. Then review your evidence - the notes, your practice activity, and your 2 interviews. Use the evidence to write a newspaper article for teens. Your goal is to motivate them to persevere through whatever leadership obstacles they encounter. Remember that your audience is other teens.
**Don't forget the article -- some classmates have posted interviews but not a newspaper article.
