Experience One: Leadership Qualities:
How am I similar to known leaders? Goal: Students will identify and make connections of leadership attributes between Civil Rights Leaders and themselves. Assessment: A Leadership Trading Card will be used to assess students’ final work. Teacher will collect the trading cards of both the civil rights leaders and their personal cards. They will be assessed based on completeness. Informal assessment will also be done based on participation and engagement in group discussions about similarities and differences in leadership attributes. Students are introduced to Civil Rights as seen in the US Constitution. They will focus on the amendments and how leaders propelled the issues forward and facilitated change. Students will form groups of four: each group will read about one Civil Rights Leader (each tending toward a specific leadership style) and one other leader of their choice; these can be from various cultural backgrounds. Students analyze their leaders’ attributes and use RWT to create trading cards for each of their two leaders; putting their person’s leadership attributes on the back. Once completed, the groups will share their cards and the leadership traits they chose. Afterwards, each student will be responsible for making their own trading card based on their own leadership skills. Students will be invited to reflect on the follow questions: How are your leadership traits similar to the civil rights leaders’ traits? How have you used those traits in the past to change something? |
