PJ's and Poster Design

1) PJ Day - MPR booked - need to talk to Ms. Gerome about screen and projector. Need to bring kettles for hot chocolate... and find one of those big silver things. Need to find out if we can stream the show in the MPR - can wireless do it? Do we need a loooooooooooong network cord.... or should we plan it in another room - say next door and take out all the desks and tell everyone to bring blankets and pillows? Announcements.

Random - what about a randome acts of kindness week?

2) A good leader helps us to see. A great leader helps us to feel. Leaders can do that in so many ways - you were trying this with your videos. Now let's try it with visual design, with posters.... What are the essentials of excellent visual presentation? 

3) Everyone to paint a PJ Day sign. Flood the school with spirit... you can work in a pair. No large groups.

Examples to consider - what do they share in common?

How to Start a Movement

1) Discussion - What did we learn from the dancing guy? What kind of movement would you start if you could? What kind of Youtube stunt/idea/video would you do, if you could?

2) Brainstorm Video Project - not much is going on right now and you guys need a challenge to wake you back up... so here it is... make a video that you would be comfortable with anyone seeing. It should be positive, have a purpose and it should represent some of the aims of good leadership. It can be to start a movement... it can be a PSA... it can be simple or complicated.

See Storyboard and Rubric Handouts.

3) Meet the Flip Cameras...

Last Habit - Sharpen the Saw!

1) Discussion - Habit #7 - you are a saw! Seriously. You are your own best tool so you have to take care of yourself.

This means you need find a healthy balance in the four areas of your life: physical, social/emotional, mental, and spiritual. What can you do to find balance in each area?

Physical:

Social/Emotional: 

Mental:

Spiritual:

Covey quote: "As you renew yourself in each of the four areas, you create growth and change in your life. Sharpen the Saw keeps you fresh so you can continue to practice the other six habits. You increase your capacity to produce and handle the challenges around you. Without this renewal, the body becomes weak, the mind mechanical, the emotions raw, the spirit insensitive, and the person selfish. Not a pretty picture, is it? Feeling good doesn't just happen. Living a life in balance means taking the necessary time to renew yourself. It's all up to you. You can renew yourself through relaxation. Or you can totally burn yourself out by overdoing everything. You can pamper yourself mentally and spiritually. Or you can go through life oblivious to your well-being. You can experience vibrant energy. Or you can procrastinate and miss out on the benefits of good health and exercise. You can revitalize yourself and face a new day in peace and harmony. Or you can wake up in the morning full of apathy because your get-up-and-go has got-up-and-gone. Just remember that every day provides a new opportunity for renewal--a new opportunity to recharge yourself instead of hitting the wall. All it takes is the desire, knowledge, and skill"
