1. Leaders Law Day#3
Intro to Leadership CS Lesson 403

2. Warm Up Learning Target:
I am able to implement Leaders Law of influence in my life, class, and school.
How was your Thanksgiving?
Reflect on your experience with our most recent Dare…what was it? How did it go?
If someone has missed class recently, how would you explain the Leaders Law influence to them?

3. Time for new clock partners!!

5. Assessment Leaders Law of Influence
Conduct final practice rehearsal for The Leaders Law of Influence by doing choral reading together, cloze reading, partner and/or individual practice.
*Handout: The Leaders Law of Influence Assessment.*
Have students take The Leaders Law of Influence Assessment.
Once all students have turned in their assessment, pass them back out randomly and have students grade each other’s assessment before writing down a score, and have students return it to the owner before turning back into you the teacher.
Teacher Note: Because the Leaders Law is so specific, require students to know the Law word for word to pass the assessment, with the ability to retake it as many times as they need to learn it.

6. Leaders Law in Action
Say, “Today we will take another look at The Leaders Law of Influence, but this time the setting is a high school. The events that you are about to watch have now spread to over 100 schools in one state and it all started from one student deciding that he wanted to do something to support the custodians at his school because he felt they didn’t receive enough recognition.”

7. Think about the following
The line that stood out the most in the video was…
The reason why this line stood out was…
After watching this video clip, a thought I have is…
An idea I have to start a movement like this in our school would be…
Have students put the thought starters in their notes- before playing the video

9. Positive movement

10. A positive Movement The line that stood out the most in the video was…
The reason why this line stood out was…
After watching this video clip, a thought I have is…
An idea I have to start a movement like this in our school would be…
Next, ask students if anyone feels they have a good idea to share from the last prompt.
Ask for multiple responses and write ideas on the board as students share.
After a few ideas have been shared, have the students vote on the one their class would actually like to do by value voting.
Value Voting:
Give every student 3-5 votes and tell them that they can use the votes on the ideas shared any way they want. They could use all their votes on one idea or they could split up the votes in any way they choose.
Have students simply vote by showing with their fingers how many votes they would like to use on each idea.
Identify for the class which idea earned the most votes and tell them that they are now going to get a chance to brainstorm how they could make this idea a reality.
*Handout: Planning a Positive Movement.*
Have students fill out the “Planning a Positive Movement” handout.
Give students time to fill it out before discussing as a class.
Ask for students to share their ideas from the handout.

11. Task Board Do: (what do you want to do)
Doing: (what do you NEED, what are you doing to prep for the work)
Done: (What is going to be done, what’s the plan, what have you accomplished)
Create a To-Do List for the idea that the class chose that includes individual and group duties.
Teacher Note: A great strategy to use for this is a duty board. Take a piece of butcher paper and make three columns labeled “to do”, “doing”, and “done”. Next, use sticky notes for each to-do list item and write on the sticky note which student or students are signing up for that to do list item. As students start working on the item they can move the sticky note from the “to do” column over to the “Doing” column.
*Project Image: Duty Board Example*
Have students sign up for different parts of the project to make it happen.
Challenge students to make the idea a reality and start a movement in your school.

12. Final Thoughts
The anthropologist, speaker, and author Margaret Mead once said, ‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.’
You are committed, thoughtful citizens, and I am grateful for all the ways you will use your influence for good here.
Give students time to reflect in their notebooks.
Then share with partners, class, or not at all.
