Welcome to Module 8! Module 8 is Leadership at Home and Abroad.  
Today's Assignments: 
  • Module 8 Pre-Assessment
  • Module 8 Lesson 1 Notes & CYK
  • Module 8 Lesson 1 Practice Activity
Module 8 Pre-Assessment
Take a few minutes to complete the pre-assessment so that you connect to prior knowledge and get an idea of what content the module will include.
Module 8 Lesson 1 Notes & CYK
Lesson 1 is Global Political Leaders.  You will learn about leadership topics by studying a specific model leader.  Here are the lesson topics:  Political Leadership through War: Churchill,  Political Leadership through Economic Crisis: Merkel, Political Leadership through Terrorism:  Hollande, Political Leader through the Years: the Queen, Political Leaders through Social Injustice: Mandela, Social Activist: Yousafzai, Civil Disobedience: Gandhi, Reformer: Wilburforce.  Thank you for posting a screenshot of your results that includes enough information to identify which quiz you took.
Module 8 Lesson 1 Practice Activity
Module 8 Lesson 1 introduces you to Global Political Leaders like Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, and Mahatma Gandhi.  Each leader you will learn about is known for a particular political leadership; for example, Nelson Mandela is known for Social Activism. You will meet some less known figures like William Wilberforce as well as some like Malala Yousafzai that work in different ways to lead politically.  For the Practice Activity, research one of these individuals using the recommended resources (or any reliable sources you know) and complete the template about that individual's political leadership. 
Tips:
  • As you complete the template, offer complete answers that use details from the notes as well as from your research.  Remember your goal is to show you understand the content. 
  • Be sure to cite your resources - go to https://www.smore.com/fgawh (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. for easy to follow instructions for creating citations for online source material. As always, look at the rubric before you begin the assignment so you are clear about how you will be graded. 
  • Per the assignment directions, remember to use leadership traits from Module 2: Integrity, Discipline, Perseverance, Commitment, Empowering, Communication, Confidence, Empathy, Creativity, Delegate, Reflection.
  • Focus on your leader's leadership which may mean that you highlight information that is not as well-known.  
  • You much chose at least one leadership style that fits the leader you chose to research. To review leadership styles, go back to Module 1 Lesson 2 notes.  Be careful with democratic leadership. Some students confuse practicing democratic leadership style with standing up for a democratic government. Think about what democratic leadership style represents - everyone is given the opportunity to participate and ideas flow freely. The leader's role is to offer guidance as well as control. How does this leader showcase the democratic style?
Got Review?
Take a moment to review Module 4 Lesson 2 vocabulary.  You are at the halfway point of the semester so it is a good idea to review past concepts as you move closer towards the final exam activities.
