LET 1 Personal Growth Plan/April 20-24, 2020

LET 1 EXERCISE For the Week of April 20-24
Chapter 1/ Lesson 3 Personal Growth Plan
(pgs. 152-156 textbook/156-161 digital textbook)
 
Hello again Team Blaze!
 
Hope everyone is doing well with the current “social distancing.” Well, we are finishing up week five of our “stay-at-home” order, and by now we are all aware of Governor Lee’s directive to keep schools closed for the remainder of the year. I understand a lot of you are disappointed, but just know that our leaders are very concerned for our health and welfare at all times. There are many lessons that can be learned during these times, especially how to persevere and to overcome adversity.
 
So for this week’s lesson it is only fitting that we continue to talk about moving forward through “personal growth.” I you haven’t already, then you may want to establish some goals for the future; and with that those goals should be clearly outlined so that you will have a good idea on how to achieve them. So here’s a question to think about; have you ever gone somewhere and found yourself lost? And during that period of time did you stop and ask for directions; or were you able to use some type of GPS? Regardless of what method you chose to use are you able to determine where you are now? Nevertheless, we have tools such as the “Personal Skills” map that offers a way to discover where you are now and it also shows how to get to where you want to go.
 
In this week’s activities you will get more familiar with what a personal skills map is and why it is an important part of your growth. As always, become familiar with the “key note terms” throughout this chapter and you will also learn about the following terminology;
 
• Adapt to change -Develop leadership skills
• Enhance ability to learn -Promote sensitivity/diversity
• Build teamwork skills -Prevent violent behavior
 
Ensure you read the chapter in its entirety and at the end of the activity you will have a check-on learning. Once your are complete, share your answers by emailing them back to my email address; [email protected]
Also in your response, take a brief moment and write a short paragraph to explain what type of growth you’ve experienced during this COVID-19 Pandemic. Again, be brief and do your best to put into words how you have grown during this time of social distancing.
Below you will find the quiz for this week’s activity, take your time, be safe and enjoy your week!

LET 1 Appreciating Diversity Through Winning Colors 13-17 April 2020

Hello Blaze JROTC!!!
 
Hope all is well with everyone,
 
I see by now most of you are getting use to the online learning format and adjusting to all the changes. I've been reading all your responses and have really enjoyed hearing from you. Keep up the good work as we prepare for our next assignment. 
For the week of 13-17 April we will be on the topic of Appreciating Diversity through Winning Colors. Please follow the instructions below.
 

LEADERSHIP EDUCATION TRAINING 1 (LET 1)

WEEKLY LESSON PLAN FOR THE WEEK

OF

13-17 APRIL 2020

Appreciating Diversity Through Winning Colors

Chapter 1/Lesson 1 (Digital Text pgs. 151-155) (Textbook pgs. 143-146)

 

          In our last discussion we spoke on the importance of “knowing who you are” as it relates to your “natural tendencies.” Going forward we are going to explore how much more importantly it is to understand yourself along with the aspect of creating a successful happy life.

            Think back to when you were a young child, and you starting to become familiar with different behaviors that you were exposed to by your parents and those caring for you. It was because of these behaviors that began to have some influence over you and form your personality. “Because these behaviors become familiar, you get “attached” to them; you attach a positive emotion to them, sometimes solely because it is what you know even though they may be negative or hurtful behaviors.” (www.usarmyjrotc.com)

            In this lesson you will also explore more about the term “comfort zone,” along with the word “natural” and you will have a solid understanding of what it means to have a “preference.” Along with use of your winning colors that you just explored, there are a group of words that help describe traits for each individual color.

            Of course, this will require you to do some reading on your own in your textbooks, with Chapter 1/Lesson 2 on page(s) (151-155 Digital Textbook) and page(s) (143-147 Textbook). (http://www.usarmyjrotc.com/doc/public/cadetPages/LET1_Student_Core_Text.pdf)

            In addition to the reading assignment take a moment to write a short paragraph(essay) explaining how you discovered what winning color best describes you. Be sure to look inside your text on pgs. 149-150/153-154 to help you describe in detail about your winning color.

            Once complete there is a check-on learning that is comprised of 18 questions. Your first 7 questions are strictly based on your own opinion; so, no need to worry about a right or wrong answer. Questions 8-18 are all multiple-choice and only have one correct answer. You can email your essays along with your numbered responses to the quiz in side the same email message once complete. Be sure to email your responses to my school address at: [email protected]

            Please email me if you have any questions pertaining to your assignments for the upcoming week. Also remember, all assignments are due no later than (NLT) 3:30CST on Friday afternoons of each week. This will allow for time to review each answer and to provide you with a response.

 

Best wishes to you all,

LET 1 Lesson for Week April 6-10, 2020 (Self-Awareness)

LEADERSHIP EDUCATION TRAINING 1 (LET 1)

WEEKLY LESSON PLAN FOR THE WEEK

OF

6-10 APRIL 2020

Self-Awareness

Chapter 1/Lesson 1 (Digital Text pg 145)(Text Book pg 141)

 

            Knowing who you are is a vital aspect in life along with understanding what “Natural Tendencies” are and can be an “eye-opening” experience as well. “Everyone has preferences. How these are developed in each of us is a complex combination of things. Whether you are born with them or learn them-nature or nurture-can be an interesting question to explore. It is also interesting to think about how much preferences guide our behavior.” (www.usarmyjrotc.com)

            For this week’s lesson you will need to become familiar with the following “Key Terms”

  • Assessment       Associate
  • Cluster              Differentiate
  • Introspection

This will require you to do some reading on your own in your text books, with Chapter 1/Lesson 1 on page(s) (141-146 Text Book) and page(s) (145-150 Digital Text Book). (http://www.usarmyjrotc.com/doc/public/cadetPages/LET1_Student_Core_Text.pdf)

          Also, re-familiarize yourself with the “Winning Colors.”(Builder-Brown, Planner-Green, Adventure-Red, Relator-Blue) With the current state of the world right now, use the winning color that best describes how you are coaping with the reality of COVID-19/Coronavirus. Write a brief paragraph on how this “Pandemic” has affected your life and how you will handle life choices going forward from here.  Be sure to email your responses to my school address at:

[email protected]

          Last part of this lesson for the week will be a check-on learning that requires your knowledge and memory of the terms that you read about. In the same email that you will send your paragraph, use that to also send me the answers to your questions listed below. Remember to number and place your answer selection in the order that you see below. This will allow you to receive full credit for your work.

2 April 2020 (Update)

Hello Parents and Students (Cadets),

            Just wanted to take this time to check-in with all of you and I hope that everyone is doing well during these times. As you all are aware by now, Governor Bill Lee has now extended the “Social Distancing,” until the of April 2020 in accordance with (IAW) President Trump’s national guidance. As we continue to navigate through these extenuating times, we now have some guidance on how to move forward in completing our 2019-20 school year.

            Starting the week after Spring Break, on Monday, April 6, 2020 “Device Checkout”- to offer consistency to our families, as BHS staff will offer times listed below for device checkout next week. The BHS staff will reexamine depending on the need towards the end of next week to determine hours moving forward. As a reminder, parents can request a printed copy of the district resources and/ or a device to borrow.

  • Monday and Tuesday April 6th and 7th (9 to 11 am)
  • Wednesday and Thursday April 8th and 9th (1 to 3pm)

As for LET 1 JROTC cadets, I anticipate you will also be privy to these resources so as you deem necessary. Beginning each week, starting on April 6th, you will have a weekly assignment posted onto the instructor’s individual webpage. These assignments are designed to invoke thought provoking activity while keeping you engaged in our course curriculum over the remaining part of the semester. All lessons will be uploaded at the beginning of each week and all completed work is due no later than (NLT) 1530CST (3:30PM) on the end of each week (Friday). Again, all assignments will be given at the beginning of each week, and each student will have the entire schoolwork week to prepare and submit each assignment at the end of each week on Friday NLT 3:30PM. All completed work is emailed to: [email protected] upon completion.

We realize that all end of course (EOC) testing is suspended due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and along with these weekly assignments we are only looking for maximum student participation each week. Again, these assignments are not designed to stress the student, or produce a pass/fail grade. The importance is to keep each student engaged and allow for interaction using technology during these current times.

Parents, feel free to reach out us on our webpages or via: bhs.rcschools.net or you can reach me through email at: [email protected]

Below I have also included the website where each student can access the digital copy of the Leadership Education and Training (LET 1) Lesson book. This is the same version that is utilized in class and should be easy to follow along in over the course of the next few weeks. I'll have more to follow and I look forward to hearing from each of you soon.
