Welcome to Humanities 12!  First day of school

8/22/2019

 
YEEEEOOOOOP! I'm super excited to have you all in my class this year. It is going to be a challenging, rewarding and FUN year so put your big girl/boy boots on and let's get started.

Starter: Create Name Tents (5 minutes)
While I take attendance, please make a name tent like the one I've created for y'all and put it in front of you on your desk.


NO DOZE Leadership Styles Activity (45 minutes)
Let's head outside!
Bring a pen/pencil and comp book


No Doze Individual Reflection (15 minutes)

In your comp books, please reflect on the following questions:
  1. ​Engagement: On a scale of 1-5, five being SUPER DUPER engaged and 1 being checked out, rate your level of engagement in the No Doze activity.
  2. Think about why you were or weren’t engaged. Explain. 
  3. Apply your knowledge--To what extent does where you landed in the grid represent you? Is there an example where you’ve seen yourself demonstrate that leadership style (or a different style)? Other people you know who embody your style? 
  4. Digging Deep: Lastly, to what extent are you digging deep to really think critically and thoughtfully about your personality and the way the styles relate to you? What’s a piece of evidence to prove your level of deep thinking?​​

Whole Class Debrief (10 minutes)
  1. Share reflections 
  2. How well do you really know yourself when it comes to placing yourself authentically and accurately in those grids? How much do you anticipate you’ll change- move to another grid in the coming months/years?
  3. How well do you know others? (Interpersonal intelligence)
  4. How much were you able to apply your knowledge?
  5. A- E- D will come into play with the ABCDEG’s later in class!
  6. Why did I do this No Doze activity? (slide 1) Why would I start the first day of class this way?
    1. First day of school can be boring. I wanted something to get you out of your seat and outside!
    2. Senior year will require leadership.  Wanted you to start thinking of yourself as a leader, and what kind of a leader you might be. We’ll do a ton more this year on leadership development, so I wanted to plant a seed here.-- However, COLLABORATION skills are critical to be an effective leader and in general student at AHS.  Do we teach HOW to collaborate? Not a ton. This gives you awareness of +/- of other styles so you can make sure groups are balanced and working to leverage + of each group member. 
    3. Leadership requires self-awareness.  Self-awareness and more specifically metacognition will be a big theme this year, so I wanted to get a general sense of where you all were in your self-awareness with this one exercise.
    4. Demonstrate three of the criteria you’ll be assessed on this year with the ABCDEG’s portfolio system. More to come here!

Welcome to Humanities powerpoint (30 minutes)
