April Week 4: Imaginative Arts inspirements suggestions

UNDERSTANDING: (you will be participating in the book discussion for this, but feel free to do any of the following to increase your understanding of Charlie's Monument or the readings from this week to increase your understanding even more!)
- Write a paper about how Charlie lived what Gordon B. Hinckley talked about in his chapter of "Be Positive" and how that affected his life and the lives of those around him.

-Make an artistic example of some lesson you learned from the readings this week.  Display it in your home for at least one day and tell us how it affected you or your family.  For instance, you could do a dramatization of Theodore Roosevelt's quote, with music and action, record it in a video and post it to the group :)!  Share it with others to inspire them as well!

--In your journal or reflection book, write down examples of times that you have felt like you had a decision to make to "enter the arena" that Roosevelt mentions.  Did you enter it or not?  What kept you from entering it?  What motivated you to enter it?  How did you feel?  Looking back, what would you have done differently?  Share with a friend or family member (or us!) your thoughts.

--Read the following talk by Elder Uchtdorf, highlighting or writing down your favorite quotes.  Share them with us or someone else!   You can do it now!

INTELLIGENCE:
-Create a "positive thoughts" jar.  For one day, put a pebble (or bean) into it for every positive thought you have.  Take one out for every negative one.  Did you end up with any beans in your jar at the end of the day?  How many?  Share your results with us, a friend, or parent.

--Consider how Charlie showed initiative in the book.  Review the different plans you have started this month during the other weeks.  Are you like Charlie?  Could you see a difference?  Remember, Charlie probably couldn't see what positive effects his initiative would have very quickly.  Decide if you want to keep your projects going.  Report to us or a parent what you decided to do and why.

--Teach a FHE lesson, using the material we studied this week, and tell us how it went!
