This week we read our book in preparation for making our pechicuhy presentation., I don't think i spelt it right. oh well. we spent most of our time in the library reading. i was reading the kite runner. a pretty good book about a afghan boy growing up and facing hardships in his life. such as watching his best friend since birth get beaten and raped, having to face the guilt of just standing there and watching.
this week we learned how to read a book for information. how to skim through and get the "just" of what the book is saying. we did several different types of note taking. other than that we didn't really do much. its been a pretty boring week. we go down to the media center and lay around reading the entire hour, reading and trying not to fall asleep. we did learn a little more about shared leadership. and time management skills. this week we did a lot of note taking. we received our dystopian books, i chose to read the kite runner by khaled hosseini. i chose it because i remember my aunt reading it a long time ago and that she really liked it. we watched a ted talk on how coding can improve civilization, making governments run more efficiently and getting citizens more involved in maintaining their local area. it was very intresting This week we learned about the importance and implications of shared leadership. shared leadership divides the power of a government among officials and that country's citizens. doing so allows each part of the government to monitor and criticize the actions of another part. it basically prevents any one branch or individual in the government from becoming too powerful. without shared leadership the government would start acting like a single entity and not like the multiple entities our government is made of. Power would eventually collect on to one branch or individual. then the individual would use this power to reflect his or her thoughts, not the thoughts of many controlling what happens but the thoughts of one. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/cutting-edge-leadership/200908/how-power-corrupts-leaders |
