Monday, 9/16: "Law and Justice" Discussion and Reaction

Happy Monday my favorite students!  (Seriously, I love the class of 2020!)

I am out today, which is why you see, standing before you,  an adult man, perhaps with facial hair,  named Mike.  Please read the entirety of this DP carefully and then get to work. 

Materials Needed:

1. Your Social Change Model of Leadership Development reading, which I handed out at the end of class on Friday
2. Your Core Values exercise
3. A copy of “Law and Justice”- the sub has hard copies for you
4. Laptops and access to Ashley’s DP

SOCIAL CHANGE MODEL OF LEADERSHIP and CORE VALUES: Small Group Discussion

1. Please put yourselves into small groups of 3-4 students. I'd encourage you to choose people with whom you don't normally work to get different perspectives and work on collaboration across friend groups.
2. Elect a facilitator who will read the discussion questions and encourage all group members to share their ideas!

Discussion Questions-  Social Change Model of Leadership reading

1. What are some of the assumptions this model operates on about leadership?
2. What are the 7 C's?
3. What is "consciousness of self" mean?
4. What are the different "Sources" of beliefs and values according to the reading? 
5. How could the 7 C’s relate to senior projects? 
6. What questions do you have about this model?
7. What do you like/dislike about it?
8. Take turns sharing out your top values as  you determined by the core value exercises
9. For ONE of your values, what you think the SOURCE of that value is? In other words, what influenced you to value that?

​Assign  and begin reading Howard Zinn's “Law and Justice”  (~27 pages total, REQUIRED pages include 397-414, 419-427, 434-435)

1. Read the first page of Discussion questions for Howard Zinn  as a whole class to understand who Zinn was
2. Read through all of the questions first so you know what to look for
3. Read the bold titles for each section heading.  Read first sentence of each paragraph closely. Make sure you understand the main idea of each section!

Time to begin reading!
​Feel free to go out in the hallway to read aloud to each other but just make sure you have it read before class tomorrow.
