THESE ARE UPDATED NOW.
Everyone does the following:
Read:
The Kidnapped Prince. Read from the Introduction to the end of the chapter "Betrayed." (And I do want you to read beginning at the introduction.) :)
Scriptures: Find your own example from the scriptures on Integrity. Read the story and come to class prepared to share with us how the scriptures teach us about Integrity. (If you need some examples: Samuel, Daniel, Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego, Nephi, Joseph.)
Watch:
This video or this video or both :)
Memorize:
Please pick your own:
1) Thought or poem or quote AND
2) Scripture
that have to do with leadership, or the attribute you are studying for your leadership project this month. The following youth will share their memorization this week: David, Jordan, Enoch, Gavin, Cassia, Grace, Amanda, Hannah, Kylee.
Project:
Your project for this month is a leadership project. You will be working on developing a characteristic of a good leader.
- The first step is to choose a characteristic you would like to work on.
- The second step is to make a plan how you will develop this characteristic this month.
- The third step is to put your plan into action by working on your characteristic.
- The fourth step is to pick a person who emulates this characteristic and learn about how they became a leader.
Here is an example:
Faith
I will seek opportunities to strengthen my faith by praying for faith, by listening to promptings and acting on them, by studying about faith
Read scriptures about faith, pray for faith, listen and act to increase my faith
Study about Mother Theresa and her faith
For your reporting on your project this week please send me an email juliej8888@yahoo.com telling me which characteristic you have chosen and what your plan is to put it into action this month.

Research the following questions: What compromises were made at the constitutional convention? How did the delegates of your state feel towards slavery and a central federal government? Are you a federalist or an anti-federalist?
Think About: Complete a word study on Integrity and Compromise. (I know that most scriptures don't contain the word compromise...but I think it is important to contrast the two.) Which traits does a leader show Integrity or Compromise? Can you do both? When should you compromise? When should you show integrity? Why is integrity important in a leader? How can you show love and compassion and integrity? Can you show Christ like attributes without compromising?
Create: Fill out the Constitutional Convention Simulation Assignment I will email out. Prepare a 1 minute debate for each of the topics: the distribution of political power, the rights of individuals, the rights of states, slavery. Plan to come to class prepared to participate in a simulation.
OPTION B - Slavery or Abolitionist Simulation

Study about one of the following individuals: James Somersett, Olaudah Equiano, Fredrick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, Benjamin Banneker, Harriet Tubman, Phyllis Wheatley, Dread Scott, or another person of your choosing. Please come to class prepared to give a presentation on your individual. OR Study about one of the following individuals: William Wilberforce, Richard Allen, James Birney, Levi Coffin, Prudence Crandall,Rev. Elijah Lovejoy,Harriet Beecher Stowe or another abolitionist of your choosing. Please come to class prepared to give a presentation on your individual.
These are the ones you signed up for: Feel free to pick someone else if you want to (as long as two people have not already chosen that person)

Phyllis Wheatley: Esther
Another slave of your choice: Chrisitan
William Wilberforce: Cassia
Richard Allen: Luke and Carson
Levi Coffin: Justin

Think About: Complete a word study on Integrity. How did your individual show integrity? How do you show integrity? Why is integrity important in a leader? How can you show integrity when you are in difficult circumstances? Can a bondsman, a slave or a servant still have integrity?
Create: Create a presentation to share with us what you learned about slavery, slave conditions, or about the individual you studied. Some ideas might be: prezi, skit, book report, essay, food (that slaves might have eaten), build a model of a slave community or a slave ship, give us an abolitionist speech, write a poem or short story about your feelings about slavery, see teaching ideas for other ideas.
