This month was incredible! We had the amazing opportunity to have volunteers from Crescent Point Energy join us for our leadership lesson. We watched Tyler's video and took on the challenge with the CP employees.
In order to prepare for our thinking about leadership, we worked through a lesson from 3rd Grade Thoughts (an educational blog). The lesson was about Bosses vs. Leaders and determining the characteristics of each type of person. Students then wrote about the following John Quincy Adams quote: "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader." Here is the chart we created with characteristics of bosses and leaders:
Each volunteer supported a small group in researching a famous leader and their contribution and how they demonstrated being a leader.
The students absolutely loved having our Crescent Point guests supporting and working with them! Students then planned out how to present their information to the whole class.
The standards that were included:
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.5.2
Determine two or more main ideas of a text and explain how they are supported by key details; summarize the text.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.5.7
Draw on information from multiple print or digital sources, demonstrating the ability to locate an answer to a question quickly or to solve a problem efficiently.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.5.9
Integrate information from several texts on the same topic in order to write or speak about the subject knowledgeably.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.5.4
Report on a topic or text or present an opinion, sequencing ideas logically and using appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details to support main ideas or themes; speak clearly at an understandable pace.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.5.2.B
Develop the topic with facts, definitions, concrete details, quotations, or other information and examples related to the topic.
Students used a variety of resources to complete their research with our awesome technology! They put their information on charts to share and post in the classroom. The charts are below!
