Trust + Respect + Responsibility = Leadership!

What does it take to be a leader?

What qualities should a GREAT leader have?

What is trust?                                           What is respect?

What is the VALUE of trust and respect in a relationship?

How do we build trust?              

How do we gain a person's respect?

What is responsibility?                                                       

How do we show responsibility?

Answer all the above questions in full sentences.  You may answer in whatever order you wish, and some answers might be combined, or blend into the next question.  Think about the picture book "The Butterfly", our "Trust" activity we did in class today, and our discussion about leadership and what makes a good or a GREAT leader.  You may use examples from any of the picture books we have looked at, and any activities and discussions we have had, in order to support your answers.  Take some time to think about this, don't rush it!  You have until Friday, so discuss it with friends too and hear what they think:)

The Lotus Seed

After reading "The Lotus Seed" by Sherry Garland, and hearing Mrs. Fraser's heartbreaking and yet en-capturing and inspiring story, let's reflect.  Please take some time to read through your questions and answers, and other notes you collecting during Mrs. Fraser's visits, then answer the following questions:

1.) How did Mrs. Fraser's story make you feel?
2.) Were you able to make connections and/or empathize with any part of Mrs. Fraser's life?
3.) How does Mrs. Fraser's story relate to "The Lotus Seed"?  What connections did you notice?
4.) Compare your childhood to that of Mrs. Fraser and Ba in "The Lotus Seed".  How do these stories make you feel about your own life?  (Appreciative? Grateful?)  Why?
5.) How would you describe Mrs. Fraser and Ba's perspective or outlook on life?  Consider what they have lived through and the life they were able to create for themselves after all the hardships they encountered.

Please answer these questions as a 'reply' to this post (make sure you write your first name or computer name), or type and hand them in.

Update

Great work with Track and Field today Division 1!  There will be NO Track Attack tomorrow, so we will be having a regular Thursday:)

I have asked Mrs. Fraser to come in and finish her story, which she will be doing tomorrow, hooray!
