Module 7 continues and is due Monday.  Congrats to those who have been able to catch up work missed - I applaud your effort and determination!  Shout out to those who are working to catch-up - it may feel impossible at times, but I know you will persevere!  Be diligent and stay in touch with me so that I can help you!     
Important Due Dates:
  • Module 7 Effective Decision-Making in Leadership Due February 25
  • Module 8 Leadership at Home and Abroad Due March 4

A few reminders about your work...
  • Focus on leadership.  Connect your ideas to your leadership journey and not just your life journey.  Connect your ideas to your leadership journey using what you are learning in the particular module.  For example, Module 7 is about making decisions as a leader.  If you chose to do your flowchart about your college choices, you should relate those choices to your leadership journey and not just to your life journey.
  • Relate your work back to the content. Please connect your activities and assignments to the content. Refer to the vocabulary as well as to the concepts from the notes.  As you consider decision-making this week, apply the lesson notes so it is clear you understand what you are learning.  For example, many of you are using the visual from the assignment to create your Module 7 flowchart and you did a great job doing so.  To make sure your understanding of the content is clear, you should expand on that flowchart and add the elements you learned in the notes.   
  • Read all directions.  Read the directions in the modules and the templates.  Read the rubrics.  Read the archived announcements. READ!

Today's Assignments: 
  • Module 7 Lesson 2 Notes and CYK
  • Module 7 Lesson 2 Practice
Module 7 Lesson 2 Notes and CYK
Lesson 2 is called "Decision-Making Process."  In this lesson, you will explore the steps a good leader takes when making a decision.  The notes are divided into those steps - Question, Information, Analysis, Options, Evaluate, Implementation, Feedback, Loop of the Decision-Making Process. After you take the CYK, be sure your screenshot includes identifying information so it is clear which quiz results you are posting.
Module 7 Lesson 2 Practice - Rethinking Others' Decisions
Complete the template by describing alternative decisions to decisions that have been made in history or in literature. In other words, you get to change the outcome of a decision made by another person.
Tips for Your Post:
  • Your alternative decision should reflect a different approach than originally used and it should address the consequences of those different approaches.  You are not trying to choose the perfect solution, but the solution that best fits the problem (in this case, the problem in history or in a book). 
  • Explain your ideas fully and reference the lesson notes so that it is clear you are applying what you learned.   
Tips for Your Replies:
  • When you reply, be sure you affirm your classmates' decision-making process, explain whether the alternate decision meets the original goals, and propose an idea to improve or build-upon the decision.
  • Remember to propose at least one idea for improving your classmate's decision-making process.  Be respectful without being rude.
  • Be sure your comments to classmates are specific -- "I like..." is too vague and does not offer your classmate anything constructive. Offer your classmate affirmation about what he/she posted and explain why you agree/disagree with his/her ideas.
Need more inspiration?  As you consider alternatives to a decision made in history or in a book/novel/poem, you may need some inspiration.  Click on the visual below to read one such alternative described in an interview with an author in The Atlantic. Enjoy "What If America Had Lost the Revolutionary War?" - as the book author notes, alternative history is like a funhouse mirror!
